CHAPEL HILL—No. 2 ranked North Carolina dominated Boston College on Saturday, defeating the Eagles, 7-0, inside Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center after a cold start to the day moved the match indoors.

Carolina's strong performance advanced its record to 14-1 on the season, 6-1 in the Atlantic Coast Conference after dropping its first match of the season at sixth-ranked Virginia last weekend.

This was the first and only regular-season match-up between North Carolina and Boston College, but they could meet again in the ACC Championship taking place in Rome, Ga. later this month.

North Carolina began the day by taking the doubles point with wins on all three courts, winning 6-2, 6-1 and 6-1 in the three matches. UNC then won all six singles matches in straight sets.

William Blumberg picked up the first singles point for the Tar Heels with a win on No. 1 singles, 6-1, 6-2. Mac Kiger and Logan Zapp followed with wins at No. 5 and No. 6 singles to clinch the team victory. Benjamin Sigouin, Brian Cernoch and Simon Soendergaard closed out the 7-0 victory with wins at No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4, respectively.

The Tar Heels will be back in action on Sunday at 1 p.m. against Duke at Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center.
