No. 11 Virginia Snaps No. 8 Wake Forest’s Win Streak

3/27/2022 3:46:00 PM | Men's Tennis

The Deacs drop their first ACC match of the season to No. 11 Virginia, 4-1.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. – The No. 8 Wake Forest men's tennis team dropped its first ACC match with a 4-1 loss to No. 11 Virginia at Virginia Tennis Facility at the Boar's Head Resort.

Virginia (14-5, 8-0 ACC) opened the day by securing the doubles point against the Demon Deacons (22-5, 5-1 ACC) and after the Deacs picked up one singles win, they went on to win three-straight singles matches.

Wake Forest stays on the road as they head to Notre Dame on April 1st with a matchup with the Fighting Irish.

Quotable
"Not the result we wanted today. Congrats to Virginia for the win. They came out and did what they needed to do to get a win at home. In doubles, we had our chances with a few breaks but we didn't capitalize on it. As we headed to singles, Virginia came out strong and we didn't respond well as they took four first sets. Great job for Jakob (Schnaitter) for doing exactly what he needed to do to get the win. Now, we head home, rest and get back to work as we have two more on the road." - Coach Bresky
