No. 6 Sara Daavettila was first off in singles with a 6-2, 6-3, win over No. 35 Rosie Johanson on court two.
The Cavaliers (cut their deficit in half with a win on court one, to make it 2-1, but UNC quickly pounced to victory after No. 4 Cameron Morra disposed of No. 89 Amber O'Dell on court three and No. 39 Sanford did the same on court five over Vivian Glozman to seal the win.
Anika Yarlagadda and No. 43 Makenna Jones both won in three sets to round out the 6-1 victory for the Tar Heels.
