No. 2 Hayley Carter clinched the win for Carolina on court one by topping Aleksandra Mally, 6-2, 6-1. Carter's 159th career singles win brings her just two shy of tying Duke's Vanessa Webb for the most victories in ACC women's tennis history.
#27 Jessie Aney, Chloe Ouellet-Pizer and No. 8 Sara Daavettila rounded out the six singles wins for the Tar Heels.
Louisville (13-10, 2-9) grabbed a win on court three for some early momentum in the doubles portion of the match, but the Tar Heels rallied with a win on court one by No. 30 Hayley Carter and Sara Daavettila. With the opening point in the balance, the Cardinals led for most of the set on court two, however, UNC's Cassandra Vazquez and Alexa Graham rallied for the 7-6 victory to give the visitors a 1-0 edge.
