Virginia Men’s Tennis Beats South Carolina 4-1, Advances to NCAA Quarterfinals
For the 17th time in the last 19 NCAA Tournaments, Virginia men’s tennis has advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championships. The Cavaliers bounced back after dropping the doubles point with strong singles play across the board, powering No. 3 Virginia (25-5) to a 4-1 victory over South Carolina (19-15) in the Super Regional round of the 2024 NCAA Men’s Tennis Championship on Friday in Charlottesville.
After rain delayed the start of the match by an hour, the Gamecocks proved to be the better team in doubles play, as Sean Daryabeigi and Casey Hoole handily defeated Dylan Dietrich and Alexander Kiefer 6-1 on court 3. UVA recovered on court 1 with Chris Rodesch and Jeffrey von der Schulenburg beating Toby Samuel and James Story 6-4. That left things to be decided on court 2, where Jelani Sarr and Lucas da Silva defeated Edoardo Graziani and James Hopper 6-4 to clinch the doubles point for South Carolina.
Mans Dahlberg was the first to record a point for the Cavaliers, beating Lucas da Silva 6-1, 7-5 on court 6. Inaki Montes put UVA in front with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Casey Hoole on court 2 and then Dylan Dietrich won a three-set match against James Story 2-6, 6-1, 6-2 on court 3 to make it 3-1 in favor of Virginia. Jeffrey von der Schulenburg clinched the victory for UVA, posting a 7-5, 6-3 win over Sean Daryabeigi on court 4.
Chris Rodesch and Toby Samuel, who are both ranked in the top 10 in the ITA men’s singles rankings, were tied at three games apiece in the third set and Alexander Kiefer was trailing Jelani Sarr on court 5 when play was suspended.
“Really proud of our guys in terms of the way we competed, especially after doubles,” said UVA head coach Andres Pedroso. “South Carolina just outplayed us in doubles today, and our guys were unfazed. You could see it on all the courts. Every guy was just locked in, and they knew what they had to do. We still had tough moments in the middle of singles, but they just stayed focused and stayed the course and that’s what this team does. So a good win for us. Our total focus now is on Stillwater.”
With the win, Virginia avenged an earlier loss to South Carolina this season, as the Gamecocks defeated the Cavaliers in a 4-3 thriller back on January 21st in Charlottesville.
Another familiar foe awaits UVA in the quarterfinals, as Virginia is set to face ACC rival Wake Forest on Thursday, May 16th at Greenwood Tennis Center in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The Cavaliers defeated the Demon Deacons 4-3 back on March 1st in Charlottesville.

Three Takeaways From Virginia Tech Baseball’s Series Win Vs Cal
Berkley, CA — Virginia Tech won their third consecutive ACC series and have won 9 of their last 12 matchups on the diamond. Despite dropping game three in 9-4 fashion, the Hokies needed this series win and got it, putting themselves firmly on the bubble this week.
There’s plenty of takeaways from the series, so here’s my top three.
No. 1: The Hokies are peaking at the right time
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a column on what the Hokies would need to do to put themselves in position on the bubble, and they have followed that blueprint to a tee.
I stated that the Hokies would need a 15-4 run going down the stretch, and they’re within striking distance, needing to go 6-1 from here on out with four games against non-conference opponents.
They couldn’t afford another series loss in conference, and they haven’t taken one.
With that run, the Hokies — who sat outside of the top 45 — have moved themselves up to 36th in RPI — a firm bubble position — with a three big ACC games remaining and four must-win non-conference games.
No. 2: Brett Renfrow has found it
What is ‘it’ exactly? Well, he’s the only one that knows.
Over Brett Renfrow’s first two starts in the month of April against Miami and Boston College, he surrendered 12 runs in 11 innings, striking out 10 batters and hurling over 200 pitches in the short time span.
Since then, he’s arguably been the best pitcher in the conference. In his recent three starts, Renfrow has allowed the following statline:
21.0 IP
3 ER
10 H
6 BB
27 K
Those numbers bring an ERA of 1.29 and a K/9 of 11.57.
For those of you who are familiar with the K%-BB% stat, Renfrow’s is sitting at 25.9%. For context, Tarik Skubal — who won the AL Cy Young last year — had a rate of 27.8%.
Brett Renfrow getting back to those strong, consistent starts that we’ve seen in the past is something that Virginia Tech desperately needed from it’s ace, and it will be crucial for the Hokies down the stretch.
No. 3: The Bullpen has been much more consistent
Earlier this season, the Virginia Tech bullpen had a huge issue with blowing leads and losing games.
Against Cal, the Virginia Tech bullpen surrendered just a pair of runs in 10 innings of work.
The highlight of the bullpen as of late has been Chase Swift, who hasn’t given up a run since March 3rd against Marshall. He’s made nine appearances in that time and has posted the following stat-line:
13.1 IP
0 ER
4 H
6 BB
18 K
Much like with Renfrow, consistency from the Virginia Tech bullpen is going to be key down the stretch, and the Hokies are headed in the right direction.
