The No. 65 Cavaliers dropped a 6-1 match to No. 3 Duke yesterday afternoon at the Boar's Head Sports Club. The loss was the fifth for Virginia against ACC opponents on the season, leaving them winless in the conference and 9-10 overall.
The Blue Devils took an early lead by winning all three doubles matches, despite a near upset by the top Cavalier team of Kristen James and Mariko Fritz-Krockow against fourth-ranked Amanda Johnson and Tory Zawacki of Duke.
