The set of victories gives Virginia its third straight ACC tournament victory, and has them peaking just as the NCAA championship begins.
The Cavaliers were able to stay undefeated in conference play with two strong victories over ranked opponents.
The Cavaliers got a push from both the Cardinals and Fighting Irish, but ultimately prevailed in both game son the road trip.
The opening to conference play was just what the Cavaliers needed to get back on track, having lost five of their final seven matches they had played in the indoor season.
The conclusion of the indoor portion of the season did not go as the Cavaliers had hoped, as they finished just 1-2 in the tournament.
The Cavaliers won the doubles point but was swept in the singles matches to lose to the now-No. 1 Buckeyes.
The Wildcats dealt Virginia an early blow, but the Cavaliers fought with them down to the wire and bounced back without missing a beat versus Radford.
Three members of the men's team and six members of the women's team competed in the ITA All-American Championships.
This was the first title for Coach Andres Pedroso at the helm of the program.
The Cavaliers have now won all of their NCAA Championship matches by the same score of 4-0 and will play No. 2 Florida in the quarterfinal.
The Cavaliers have now rattled off 19 wins in a row and will host No. 10 South Carolina next in a Super Regional.
Experience is going to have to carry the Cavaliers through this tournament if they hope to make a run.
In one of their biggest tests of the season, the Cavaliers had to come from behind in order to defeat the Tar Heels and capture the program’s 14th ACC Championship.
The No. 6 Virginia men’s tennis team earned the regular-season title and the top seed in the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Tennis Championship after defeating Virginia Tech Wednesday and Boston College Sunday.
With just two games remaining in the regular season, Virginia is incredibly close to locking down their second straight season of undefeated play in the ACC.
With four conference games remaining, Virginia has put themselves in a strong position to be the No. 1 seed in the ACC tournament.
The Cavaliers continued to look strong in both matches, as they continued on their quest for a regular season conference title.
After a 4-0 start in Atlantic Coast Conference play, the Cavaliers appear to have found a strong sense of rhythm.
Virginia has now won three matches in a row and have put themselves in a very strong position at 2-0 in the ACC, especially after going through a difficult stretch early in the season.
