CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - After spending the first six weeks of the season on the road, the University of Virginia women's tennis team had a successful start to its home schedule with a 9-0 win over Boston University this afternoon at the Sheridan Snyder Tennis Center. The win, the Cavaliers' third in their last four matches, improves their record to 9-3, while Boston University falls to 3-3.

The Cavaliers had very little difficulty downing the Terriers, winning every set. Senior co-captain Stacy Gingold gained her second win in three matches with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Christina Causway at #2. The win was Gingold's first straight-set win in over a month.

Sophomore Leslie Cook won her fourth match in a row with a 6-4, 6-1 win over Carrie Rose at #4, while sophomores Christie Schweer and Kelly Weaver each won for the seventh time in their last eight matches. Schweer downed Mary Granger 6-1, 6-1 at #5 and Weaver defeated Karen Shostakovsky 6-1, 6-0 at #6. Paige Boiko (at #1) and Amy O'Donnell (at #3) were also victorious for the Cavaliers.

The Terriers defaulted all three doubles matches.

Virginia returns to action on Tuesday with a 2 p.m. match at Richmond.
