Virginia lost to two of its conference rivals on the road this weekend in North Carolina.
Duke (17-3, 7-1 ACC) swept the Cavaliers (10-8, 3-6 ACC), topping Virginia 7-0.
No. 31 Duke freshman Mallory Cecil beat freshman Cavalier Emily Fraser at the No. 1 singles spot 6-1, 6-0. Freshman Claire Bartlett suffered a similar defeat in her 6-2, 6-2 match at No. 5. Junior Jennifer Stevens and senior Amanda Rales lost their matches at No. 2 and No. 3.
Virginia left Sunday’s match against North Carolina (16-7, 6-3 ACC) with another loss, falling to the Tar Heels 4-3. The Cavaliers rearranged the doubles portion of their lineup and won two of three matches to take the doubles point, but Fraser lost the No. 1 to UNC’s junior Katrina Tsang 2-6, 6-4, 6-3. Freshman Lindsay Hardenbergh and Bartlett earned the Cavaliers their second and third points, but the team ultimately could not overcome the Tar Heels.
The team will face two more opponents from North Carolina at home this weekend when it plays Wake Forest and N.C. State at the Snyder Tennis Courts. The matches are the team’s last before the ACC Tournament.
