Let the defense of Wake Forest’s indoor national title begin. The Demon Deacons men’s tennis team easily swept the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos on Friday night, 4-0, inside the Hawkins Indoor Tennis Center in Waco, Texas.
Wake Forest is the No. 1 seed in the ITA National Team Indoor Championships which is being played both in Waco and Dallas this weekend. The Deacs are hoping to repeat as national championships after they beat TCU in an intense 4-3 championship match last year.
With the win, Wake Forest is now 7-1 (0-0 ACC) and will play the No. 5 seed Baylor at 4:30 pm ET Saturday in the quarterfinal matchup. This will mark the fourth-consecutive year the two teams have met with Wake Forest winning the previous three. The Deacs and Bears are also scheduled to meet again in Winston-Salem on Feb. 22…
