Men’s Championship Preview – Virginia vs. North Carolina

Virginia has won 19 of the last 21 matches although both of those North Carolina wins came a year ago and most of the guys on that team are still on this year’s team. Since the match is scheduled to be...

NCAA Semifinal Recap: North Carolina Regroups To Beat Georgia & Virginia Outmuscles Ohio State

Every effort was made to resume play outdoors and the courts were dry around 3 p.m but before warmups began it started raining again. The radar had been showing a three-hour window between 4 and 7 that was supposed to be good but when that window disappeared the decision was made...

Saturday may have been a long day but it was mostly definitely a great one with one thrilling match after another. The day started off with the two-time defending NCAA Champs Virginia facing some resistance but ultimately pulling away from No. 10 Texas and winning 4-1.

Elite 8 Previews

The rubber meets the road on Saturday afternoon in Athens with an extremely competitive schedule lined up. In the noon session you’ll have the two-time defending champs Virginia taking on Texas and the other match could be the match of the tournament as No. 3 Ohio State takes on No. 6 TCU.

The temperature is expected to be in the upper 80s and may hit 90 so it’ll be interesting to see how the teams from outside of the south handle the elements.  I have...
