Carolina will take on the Virginia Cavaliers in another ACC match-up Sunday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. The North Carolina men's team will also face Virginia; that match begins at noon.
The Tar Heels won all six singles matches in straight sets. Sophomore Caitlin Collins was the first off the court after she dominated Maryland's Masha Senic 6-0, 6-0 at the No. 5 seed.
Senior and 31st-ranked Aniela Mojzis then took a 6-3, 6-0 win over Marianna Baker at the No. 1 seed.
