Lefteris Theodorou, another sophomore on the Hawkeye squad, won his 12th match of the season with a, 7-5, 6-4, victory at the two spot. Patrick’s match was the only court left unfinished after the Hawkeyes clinched the victory at the Five Seasons Sports Park in Dayton.
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.
