CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami women’s tennis team swept No. 64 Virginia Tech, 7-0, Sunday afternoon at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center.
No. 13 Miami (11-3, 6-1 ACC) dominated from start to finish and won all six singles matches in straight sets to record its fifth shutout victory of the year.
“I think our kids are playing with a lot of confidence. They’ve had some solid wins lately,” Miami head coach Paige Yaroshuk-Tews said. It’s showing in how they’re walking around the court. It’s showing in how they’re sticking together. I told them our goal today was to [win 7-0 against] this team. We did it and it wasn’t easy to do. This is a tough Virginia Tech team and a much-improved Virginia Tech team, I think.”
The Hurricanes controlled play on all three doubles courts on the way to claiming a pair of victories. Fifth-year senior Daevenia Achong and fourth-year junior Maya Tahan earned the first one, a 6-1 win over Tamara Barad Itzhaki and Ozlem Uslu.
Junior Audrey Boch-Collins and freshman Mia Mack sealed the opening point with a 6-2 decision against Erika Cheng and Sabina Richtrova.
Miami also held an edge on Virginia Tech (10-8, 1-7 ACC) in the unfinished match, as redshirt sophomore Alexa Noel and junior Isabella Pfennig, together ranked No. 53, led Semra Aksu and Katie Andreini, 5-3.
The Hurricanes extended their lead to 3-0 in quick succession, as Tahan and No. 118 Achong finished off their matches at nearly the same time. The former beat Charlotte Cartledge, 6-4, 6-0, and then the latter defeated Barad Itzhaki, 6-0, 6-3.
