A matchup with No. 7 seed Florida ended with a 4-1 OSU victory as senior Alex Norén paced the Cowboys, winning 5 and 3 over James Vargas. Clarke and Reynolds were impressive again in victory as well, while Martin won two of his final three holes for a 2-and-1 win over Richard Treis.
OSU returned to the course on Monday afternoon and promptly took four of its five matches against Big 12 foe Texas A&M.
At the top spot with Martin picking up a 2-up victory, while junior Zack Robinson logged his first individual win at the event, defeating Andrew Parr 4 and 3.
