CORAL GABLES, Fla. –The No. 19 Virginia women’s tennis team (16-7, 8-6 ACC) closed out the regular season on Saturday afternoon (April 13), dropping a 6-1 contest to No. 25 Miami (16-6, 9-5 ACC) at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center.

Junior Chloe Gullickson (Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.) provided the lone point for the Cavaliers on the afternoon with her three-set victory at four singles over Ulyana Shirokova.
