ROME, Georgia – North Carolina has once again earned the top seed for the Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Tennis Championship, from the Rome Tennis Center at Berry College in Rome, Georgia.
The five-time defending champion Tar Heels will see their first tournament action on Friday at 3:30 p.m., when they take on eight seed Florida State, who knocked off Notre Dame, 4-0, in a second-round match on Thursday.
North Carolina (23-1, 12-1 ACC) is 7-0 against the Seminoles at the ACC Championship with the last meeting coming back in 2017.
