FISHING FOR ANOTHER CONFERENCE WIN
Tech enters this weekend’s road trip following a tough loss to Michigan State, 5-2, this past weekend. The start looked promising for Tech with Alberto Orso and Scott Sculley cruising to a 6-3 victory followed by Matt Harper and Frank Thompson on court three, 6-3, to put the Hokies ahead 1-0 going into singles. The win marked the first doubles point for Tech since March 17, against Duke. Fishback added to the tally with a straight-set victory but it ultimately wasn’t enough. The last time Tech faced an ACC opponent resulted in a 5-2 victory on the road against Boston College.

NC State’s lone singles victory came from freshman Martin Borisiouk. The Wolfpack come in at No. 22 in the latest ITA Rankings. The doubles duo of Robin Catry and Luca Staeheli were ranked No. 15, while Joe Wayand and Rafa Izquierdo Luque were ranked No. 24.
