COLLEGE PARK, Md. -
Maryland men's tennis team returns to action this week, taking on Virginia, Wednesday, April 2 at 3:00 p.m.
This will be the fourth straight ACC opponent that the Terps will face off against. With the ACC consistently boasting some of the nation's best men's tennis teams, Maryland is still looking for its first ACC win.
The Terps have dropped their last three of four matches. On March 19, Maryland swept Coppin State at home, 7-0.
On March 22, the Terps kicked off a three match road trip with Florida State. The Terps dropped to 9-5 on the season with their 7-0 loss to the Seminoles.
Two days later Maryland visited Tobacco road in hopes of finding wins over Wake Forest and Duke. The Terps were blanked by Wake, but managed to steal a point from Duke, falling to them 6-1.
Freshman Scott Peters came away with his first ACC match victory. He defeated Duke's Setfan Rozycki, 6-2, 6-2. The Terps record now stands at 9-7, 0-4 in the ACC.
Maryland plays host to three ACC matches this season. The Terps fell to visiting Georgia Tech, on March 16, 7-0, and will host North Carolina and Clemson to close out their regular season.
The final ACC road match for the Terps will be Sunday, April 6, when they travel to NC State. The Terps clinched their first ACC victory in ten years last season when they defeated NC State, 4-3.
Virginia men's tennis team is now 18-3 on the season, with their most recent win coming over Stetson, Sunday, March 30. Just the day before, the Cavaliers dropped their first conference match of the season, 4-3, to No. 41 Florida State.
The Cavaliers and the Terps begin play at the Snyder Tennis Center at 3:00 p.m.
