CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Emilee Malvehy defeated a ranked Virginia player for the second time this season, but the No. 18 Cavaliers claimed the rest of the singles matches and the doubles point to move past Wake Forest 6-1 on Saturday at the Snyder Tennis Center.
The Hoos completed their sweep of the season series against Wake Forest to improve to 16-6 (5-4 ACC), while the Demon Deacons dropped to 6-12 (0-9 ACC).
Malvehy earned the Deacs' only point of the day at No. 3 singles taking two tight sets against No. 84 Hana Tomljanovic 7-6 (5), 7-6 (3). The win was her second over a ranked Cavalier this season after she took down then-No. 29 Erin Vierra when Wake Forest and Virginia squared off in a non-conference match in Winston-Salem in January.
Wake's top doubles team of No. 14 Kayla Duncan and Kathryn Talbert got back on track with an easy 8-2 win over Tomljanovic and Emily Fraser, but the Cavaliers picked up wins at No. 2 and No. 3 to earn the doubles point.
Virginia's clinching singles win came at the top spot, where No. 53 Fraser topped No. 24 Martina Pavelec 7-6 (5), 6-0.
The Deacons will return to Winston-Salem to close out the regular season with two home matches next weekend. Wake will face No. 26 Maryland on Friday at 3 p.m. before taking on No. 46 Boston College at noon on Saturday. The Deacs will hold their Senior Day festivities Saturday and will honor outgoing seniors Emilee Malvehy and Martina Pavelec.
