CHARLOTTESVILLE – The No. 25 Virginia women’s tennis team extended its win streak to five matches with a doubleheader sweep Sunday at the Boyd Tinsley Courts at the Boar’s Head Sports Club. The Cavaliers (8-2, 2-0 ACC) downed both Maryland and No. 66 Old Dominion by 7-0 scores.

Virginia improved to 2-0 in the ACC with the win over the Terrapins (2-5, 0-3) in the opener. The Cavaliers swept the doubles point with wins by Emily Fraser (Rye, N.Y.) and Jennifer Stevens (Miami, Fla.) at No. 1, Erin Vierra (Norwell, Mass.) and Lindsey Hardenbergh (Fairfax Station, Va.) at No. 2 and Hana Tomljanovic (Boca Raton, Fla.) and Maria Fuccillo (Rockville, Md.) at No. 3.
