MIAMI, Fla. – The Wake Forest men's tennis program traveled to Miami, Fla. to play in their second ACC play against No. 21 Miami, and the No. 7-ranked Demon Deacons came out on top, defeating the Hurricanes 4-3 Friday afternoon.
Sophomore Filippo Moroni clinched the match for Wake Forest for the fourth time this season. No. 35-ranked Moroni ousted Oren Vasser, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-3 on court four. Moroni improves to 26-6 overall, 10-3 in the dual season, 2-2 against nationally ranked opponents and is on a three-match win streak.
The win over the Hurricanes earned the Deacs their first true road win this season, coming into the weekend with an 0-3 record with losses at then-No. 1 Tennessee, then-No. 13 South Carolina and then-No. 1 Ohio State.
Quotable
"It was a big battle. I thought we played good doubles after we found ourselves in a couple of tiebreakers. The team showed a lot of toughness across the board. It was awesome to see Filippo Moroni in the last match again. He continues to grow and become more mature in those moments from the first time against Tennessee. We are excited to face off against Florida State on Sunday in Tallahassee." - Coach Bresky
