Cavs fall to No. 1 Georgia

The Virginia men's tennis team fell to top-ranked Georgia Sunday in the semifinals of the National Team Indoor Tournament. The Cavaliers (8-1) defeated No. 4 Mississippi Saturday to advance to the finals, but were unable to top an undefeated Georgia team (7-0) in order to continue on to the finals. Against Georgia, Virginia could not pull out the doubles point against the Bulldogs, and the Cavaliers struggled in singles matches. In the doubles matches, the No. 7 team of juniors Treat Huey and Somdev Devvarman lost to the top-ranked doubles team of John Isner and Luis Flores. The Cavaliers seemed like they might be able to pull out the match, winning two of the first three singles matches to even the score at two, including an upset by redshirt freshman Dominic Inglot over No. 22 Travis Helgeson. But freshman Lee Singer lost and No. 8 Devvarman lost to No. 2 John Isner to clinch the match for Georgia.
