Men's Tennis moves closer to milestone

Top-ranked Cavaliers win two road matches, extend ACC win streak to 99

The top-ranked Virginia men’s tennis team posted two road victories this weekend, defeating No. 25 Wake Forest 6-1 Saturday and No. 36 NC State 7-0 Sunday. The victories extended the Cavaliers’ ACC-record conference win streak to 99 matches.

Virginia (17-0, 6-0 ACC) won all three doubles matches Saturday to take an early lead. No. 31 junior Justin Shane and senior Julen Uriguen won 8-4 on the third court and No. 9 junior Alex Domijan and sophomore Mitchell Frank cruised to 8-3 on the second court. No. 2 senior Jarmere Jenkins and freshman Mac Styslinger finished the sweep in a more closely contested 8-7 victory on the first court.

The Cavaliers had similar success in singles as No. 2 Jenkins and No. 1 Domijan swept their matches at No. 1 and No. 2 singles, respectively. Shane and Uriguen also earned straight set victories while No. 27 Frank needed just three sets to prevail at No. 3. The Demon Deacons (15-6, 4-2 ACC) posted their only point when junior Adam Lee upset No. 16 Styslinger 6-3, 7-5.

NC State (12-8, 5-3 ACC) was unable to pick up a single point against Virginia Sunday, bringing the Cavaliers one win away from a milestone victory. The team returns to action seeking its 100th consecutive ACC win when it hosts No. 19 Clemson Friday.
