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 leaves its new facility at Boar’s Head for the season a perfect 10-0 and remains undefeated in the ACC.
It is reasonable to believe that Virginia will eclipse their season-high No. 4 rank, and potentially earn the top spot in the country with less than a month before postseason play.
Although it was two different ACC opponents, it was the same story for the hot Cavaliers as they handled business over the weekend.
After a competitive doubles frame, the Cavaliers won their next three singles matches in straight sets on courts one, three and five to seal the match.
