The goal teams attempt to reach in an Ohio Athletic Conference tournament dual is five points. Each match victory is worth a single point, and with just nine total matches, each point becomes quite valuable.

In a 2010 OAC Tournament semifinal round match played between fourth-seeded John Carroll and top-seeded Baldwin-Wallace, it was a cruel reminder to the Blue Streaks how crucial even points within a match can be.

JCU fell by a 5-0 score in a match that was much closer than the score would indicate.
