“Virginia is a great team, but I loved that we were able to come out here knowing what we are capable of,” Tennessee head coach Alison Ojeda said. “For us to get the doubles point and have the fan support that we had was huge. In singles, you saw all six courts play really solid tennis. I am looking forward to going back and watching film. Could not be more excited about the team and where we’re at.”
Tennessee will next face No. 2 seed Texas A&M in the Elite Eight. A time and dated have not been announced for the match between SEC teams.
