The Virginia men's tennis team won its second consecutive national title and third in four years Tuesday in Tulsa, Okla., by coasting past Oklahoma, 4-1. Last year, the Cavs also topped the Sooners 4-1 for the crown. Sophomore Henrik Wiersholm clinched the Wahoos' victory at No. 6 singles with a great comeback in the second set. He won the first set against the Sooners' Andre Biro 6-2, but then found himself down 3-0 and 5-3 in the second set. He battled back to a tiebreak, though, and then won that 7-2 to win his match and
the crown for the Cavaliers. If last year wasn't enough, this title definitely makes UVa elite. Only Stanford, Georgia, and USC have won back-to-back titles in addition to Virginia.
In the singles tournament, senior Ryan Shane and Thai-Son Kwiatkowski are into the second round. Sophomore Collin Altamirano lost in the first round.
Baseball: Virginia swept Virginia Tech over the weekend (8-3, 7-6, 4-1) to streak into the ACC tournament as the No. 3 seed and one of the conference's hottest teams. UVa has won 16 of 20 games. The Cavaliers are in Pool B in Durham, N.C., which includes No. 2 seed Louisville, No. 6 Clemson, and No. 10 Wake Forest, which beat No. 7 Duke on Tuesday to get into pool play. UVa's first game is today at 11 a.m. vs. Clemson. The Cavaliers then face the Demon Deacons on Friday at 3 p.m., then Louisville on Saturday at 7 p.m. Pool A consists of No. 1 seed Miami, No. 4 Florida State, No. 5 N.C.

Women's tennis: The Cavaliers lost, 4-2, Saturday to Vanderbilt in the NCAA quarterfinals, finishing the season 19-11. They tied their best postseason result. In singles, Virginia senior Danielle Collins, the 2014 NCAA champion, and senior Julia Elbaba, won first-round matches and are in the round of 32.
Women's golf: Virginia finished fifth out of 30 in the medal portion of the NCAA championships in Eugene, Ore., to advance to match play, where the Cavs were eliminated by eventual national champion Washington in the quarterfinals. Still, it was a good leap up from finishing 20th a year ago.
