CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The 22nd-ranked UNC Tar Heels won every match played in a 7-0 shutout of Georgetown on Friday afternoon.
Carolina's win over the Hoyas was the first part of a Friday doubleheader that concludes with a night match against Howard.
The Tar Heels got off to quick start in doubles, losing only four games combined. Eleventh-ranked Clay Donato and Taylor Fogleman were the first to finish with an 8-0 victory. Andrew Crone and Zach Hunter clinched the team point for UNC shortly afterwards, beating Georgetown's Andrew Bruhn and Adam Gross.
With the score at 1-0, UNC wasted no time in extending its lead in singles play. Forty-second ranked Fogleman led the charge with a 6-0, 6-0 win at the second singles spot. Carolina's team lead stretched to three with a 6-0, 6-2 win by 27th-ranked Donato. The match was clinched when Alex Rafiee completed a straight-sets victory over Rafael Notario, but Brennan Boyajian, Andrew Crone and Luke Mojica all went on to win their matches in two sets as well.
