NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The No. 55 ranked Virginia women’s tennis team opened the 2005 dual match season on a positive note, downing Michigan State 5-2 Saturday at the Currey Tennis Center on the campus of Vanderbilt University.
The Cavaliers fell behind early, losing the doubles point to the Spartans. The No. 23 ranked team of Diana Srebrovic (Oakville, Ont.) and Douglas Wink (Greensboro, N.C.) cruised to an 8-1 win over Sarah Andrews and Shelley Brady at the No. 1 position.
