Tar Heels Open ACC Play with Victory in Blacksburg

Blacksburg, Va. – The North Carolina volleyball team captured its 18th straight ACC victory on Friday night, taking down Virginia Tech, 3-1 (25-15, 26-28, 25-15, 25-7) in the 2015 conference opener. The win lifts UNC to 4-6 (1-0 ACC), while VT drops to 10-4 (0-1 ACC).

“Without question, this is a great start to the ACC season,” said head coach Joe Sagula. “We knew coming into Blacksburg that Virginia Tech would be a tough team. They’re always tough on their court, and the fact that we came out very inspired with a great attitude to compete early in the match, I think that set the tone and built the confidence for us.
