Wake Forest's top of the lineup is as good as any in the nation, but their depth proved costly in the ACC Championship against No. 5 Virginia. The Cavaliers clinched their record ninth straight ACC Championship, and 11th in 12 years, 4-2.
At first singles, No. 13 Noah Rubin defeated No. 7 Ryan Shane 7-6 (5), 6-3. Meanwhile, No. 15 Romain Bogaerts beat No. 93 Collin Altamirano 6-3, 6-4. However, the Cavaliers won third, fourth and fifth singles in straight sets and the doubles point for another ACC Championship.
The loss snaps a nine match winning streak for the Demon Deacons. No. 11 Wake Forest likely will host NCAA First and Second Round Matches in Winston-Salem.
