Jamie Loeb, who plays in the No. 1 singles slot for Carolina and the second ranked player in the nation, clinched the match with a 6-0, 6-3 win over 69th ranked Jordan Johnston.
And in the nightcap against the Spartans, UNC switched up its doubles and earned the same result as the afternoon session against Elon.
Lyons and Slater teamed up for a 6-0 win, while Price and Carter clinched the doubles point with a 6-2 victory.
Carter was the first to finish in singles against UNCG, while Lyons and Loeb followed soon after with victories of their own to cap a long, but successful day of tennis for the Tar Heels.
