The Virginia women's tennis team defeated Old Dominion 6-1 on Saturday in Virginia Beach to move to 2-0 on the season.
The Cavaliers benefited from two forfeits, one at No. 3 doubles and one at No. 6 singles.
The forfeit, coupled with a win at number two doubles by freshmen sisters Marta and Dora Bechliwanis, gave Virginia the doubles point.
Senior Amy O'Donnell, sophomore Henriette Williams and both Bechliwanis sisters won singles matches. Sophomore Jennifer Tuchband took nationally ranked Ana Rodeljevic to three sets but ultimately fell 7-6, 5-7, 3-6.
Profile fallacies doom one Yellow Jacket assistant
Georgia Tech's newly hired defensive coordinator Rick Smith resigned Friday before he ever coached a play.

Smith admitted he never played baseball and football at Florida State, as his media guide profile had indicated.
A sub-committee of the Georgia Tech Athletic Board discovered the information and determined Smith had misrepresented himself.
Wide receivers coach Tommie Robinson will be allowed to remain at Georgia Tech despite an inaccuracy in his media guide. Robinson is listed as having a master's degree from Troy State but actually is six credits short. When Robinson saw the error, he immediately notified Georgia Tech but the copies already had been printed.
Georgia Tech was embarrassed earlier in the off-season when it was discovered that former coach George O'Leary had lied on his resume.
All coaches at Georgia Tech are having their backgrounds checked as a result of the off-season happenings.
