CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The No. 39 University of Miami men’s tennis team will travel to Virginia this weekend to play a pair of ACC matches against No. 4 Virginia and No. 54 Virginia Tech.

Senior Omar Aly secured a spot in the polls at No. 92, after defeating then-No. 20 Romain Bogaerts of Wake Forest. Aly now holds a 12-3 singles record.

The No. 4 Virginia Cavaliers have a 2014 spring season record of 12-2, and are undefeated (4-0) in ACC matches. No. 4 Virginia is coming off of three wins on the road against Loyola Marymount, No. 6 North Carolina and No. 13 Duke.

No. 54 Virginia Tech has an 8-7 2014 spring season record, and the Hokies are 1-3 in ACC matches. No. 54 Virginia Tech will host No. 24 FSU on Friday before taking on Miami on Sunday. The Hokies are coming off three losses on the road to No. 19 Boise State, No. 13 Duke, and No. 6 North Carolina.
