WEYMOUTH, Mass. – The top-ranked Virginia men’s tennis team was victorious in its first road match of the season, downing Boston College 7-0 Sunday at the Weymouth Club. The Cavaliers improve to 10-0 this season (3-0 ACC), while the Eagles fall to 2-3 (0-1 ACC). The victory extended Virginia’s ACC-record win streak it posted its 66th consecutive win against conference competition.

In doubles, the Cavaliers swept all three matches to take a 1-0 lead.
