Blumberg And Boyden Earn ACC Doubles Honor
April 2, 2019 | Men's Tennis
North Carolina's Blaine Boyden and William Blumberg have been honored as the Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Tennis Doubles Team of the Week, as announced Tuesday afternoon by the ACC.
Boyden, a senior from Raleigh, and Blumberg, a junior from Greenwich, Conn., went 2-0 last week at No. 1 doubles and are 11-2 overall this spring. Last Wednesday, they beat #61 Borna Gojo and Alan Gadjiev of Wake Forest 6-4 to clinch the doubles point in Winston-Salem, in a match eventually won 5-2 by third-ranked WFU. On Sunday against No. 26 FSU, they again decided the doubles point, beating Sebastian Arcila and Alex Knaff 6-3 en route to a 6-1 homecourt win by the Tar Heels.
Wake Forest's Gojo was named the ACC Singles Player of the Week.
Blumberg and Boyden moved up 19 spots to #34 in this week's ITA doubles rankings.
They'll lead the No. 11 Tar Heels (13-4, 5-2 ACC) back into action on Wednesday, when UNC hosts No. 21 NC State at Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center. The match will begin at 4 p.m. – please note change from original time of 3 p.m.
There will be free food for fans beginning right after the doubles point and two lucky fans will win premium seatback stadium cushions.
