Hokies defeat NC State, 4-3
Re earns clinching point in three-set victory
April 13, 2008

BLACKSBURG, Va. - Sophomore Yoann Re (Verdun, Quebec, Canada) made sure seniors Albert Larregola (Lleida, Spain) and Ignaci Roca (San Jose, Costa Rica) left the Burrows/Burleson Tennis Center for the last time with a smile as he won the No. 3 singles match in three sets to give the Virginia Tech men's tennis team a 4-3 decision against No. 49 NC State in the final regular season match for both squads. With the victory, No. 29 Tech improved to 14-7 and 6-5 in ACC play, while the Wolfpack fell to 11-13, 4-7.

The contest marked the seventh time this year that the Hokies found themselves in a match decided by one point. They won their third match as a result of taking two of the three doubles contests and three of six in singles.

The score seesawed between the two squads as NCSU's 64th-ranked James McGee defeated 40th-ranked Larregola in the No. 1 match, 6-2, 6-3. Tech earned the next two points as Brandon Corace (Jr., Naples, Fla.) beat David Chermak 6-2, 6-1 at No. 6 and Sebastien Jacques (Fr., Magog, Quebec, Canada) defeated Derek Stephens, 6-3, 6-2 at No. 5.

NC State rebounded though as Nick Cavaday defeated Nicolas Delgado de Robles (Jr., Madrid, Spain), 6-4, 7-6 (7) at No. 2, followed by Christian Welte's 7-6, 3-6, 6-3 decision over Pedro Graber (So., Santiago, Chile) at No. 4 to tie the match at 3-3. Re came through for the Hokies as he came from behind to defeat Jay Weinacker, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5, for the clinching point.

Earlier in doubles action, NCSU's Welte/McGee won the No. 1 contest versus Graber/Corace, 8-6. The Hokies earned the hard-fought point as Re/Jacques beat Weinaker/Stephens, 9-7, at No. 3 and Delgado de Robles/Larregola beat Cavaday/Chermak, 9-8, at No. 2.

Up next for Tech is the four-day ACC Championships, which is set to begin on Thursday, April 17, at Sanlando Park in Altamonte Springs, Fla. The Hokies will have either the No. 5 or 6 seed, which will be determined later today after the completion of ACC play.
