The Hawkeyes finished the day in Columbus where the Buckeyes (19-2, 4-0) took every match in straight sets.
Theodorou saw himself back at the top of the lineup, but was unable to finish his match before Iowa’s day came to a close.
Jacoby took his match into a third set after battling back in the second, but also left the court undecided.
Iowa (9-9, 2-2) return to the courts again for a Sunday match against No. 33 Penn State (15-4, 2-2) in State College, Pennsylvania.
