BERKELEY, Calif. – The No. 3-ranked Wake Forest men's tennis team returned to its winning ways on Sunday afternoon as it defeated No. 54 Cal, 4-2, at the Hellman Tennis Complex.

With one match remaining in the regular season, the Demon Deacons (26-3, 11-1 ACC) remained tied with Virginia atop the ACC standings with just one loss apiece. A win over NC State on Saturday would secure at least a share of the regular season title for the second-consecutive season.

From Coach Bresky
"Really proud of the way our guys responded today. Going on the road in this conference is never easy, and to come out and take the doubles point the way we did really set the tone. I thought we competed at a high level across the board in singles, especially from our younger guys who continue to step up in big moments. This group has shown a lot of resilience all season, and it was great to see that again today." – Head coach Tony Bresky
