Men's Tennis ACCtion: Sunday, March 30
March 31, 2008 Virginia Cruises to 6-1 Win Over No. 10 Florida State CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - The top-ranked Virginia men's tennis team needed barely two-and-a-half hours to post its seventh top 10 win of the season, downing No. 10 Florida State 6-1 Sunday afternoon at the Boyd Tinsley Courts at the Boar's Head Sports Club. The Cavaliers (21-0, 7-0 ACC) recorded their 24th consecutive win over an ACC opponent, tying the school record set from 2004-2006. "I think with each match we have just continued to play a little bit better," said head coach Brian Boland. "We had a great week of practice and that hard work showed in a pair of wins against two quality conference teams." The Cavaliers opened the match by sweeping the doubles matches. Michael Shabaz (Fairfax, Va.) and Dominic Inglot (London, England) improved to 2-0 since being paired this week, topping Sam Chang and Maciek Sykut 8-1 at the No. 2 position. Top-ranked Somdev Devvarman (Chennai, India) and Treat Huey (Alexandria, Va.) clinched the opening point with an 8-5 victory over No. 27 Jean-Yves Aubone and Clint Bowles at the top position.
BLACKSBURG, Va. - Virginia Tech's Albert Larregola (Sr., Lleida, Spain) earned his biggest win of the season with a 6-3, 7-5 victory over the No. 4 nationally-ranked player in the country to help the Hokies defeat Miami, 6-1, on Sunday afternoon at the Burrows-Burleson Tennis Center. Ranked No. 28 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association national poll, Tech improves to 11-5 on the year and 4-3 in the ACC, while the No. 26 Hurricanes drop to 9-6 and 2-4 in conference play. Miami won two of the three doubles matches for the first point of the day, but Tech swept the ACC foe in singles action for the victory, which comes two days after the Hokies' tough 4-3 loss to No. 10 Florida State. "I'm really excited about the win," head coach Jim Thompson said. "The guys played well, and Miami is a good team. We knew they were good, and I thought we would be up for the match because we had really been looking forward to it for a long time. I'm really happy with the way we played today.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The No. 30 Wake Forest men's tennis team wrapped up the home portion of the 2008 schedule with two Atlantic Coast Conference wins, including a 7-0 sweep of Clemson on Friday and a 5-2 victory over Georgia Tech on Sunday.

RALEIGH, N.C. - No. 53 NC State men's tennis team improved to 12-8 overall and 4-2 in the ACC with a win over league rival No. 54 Clemson (13-14, 1-6 {ACC}), 6-1, on Sunday at the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center. Nick Cavaday won in singles and doubles in his final home match with the Red and White, as the team honored him and two other seniors, David Rozek and Daniel Schinke. "These seniors have meant a lot to this program," head coach Jon Choboy said. "Daniel has been with us for three semesters, but Nick and David came on board four years ago when we were building this program. The last two classes have brought this program to a level that matches our past accomlishments and has accomplished things that NC State has never done before in tennis. They are special in that regard that they helped build the program and to take it to where we are now. It says a lot about these kids and their unselfishness, character and integrity."
