The Cavaliers are 3-1 overall after losing for the first time at Christiansburg last Thursday, 5-4. Williams and Judge won in single and the Cavs won in doubles with the teams of Germain and Coffey and Coombe and Jessica Lancenese.
Both teams were scheduled to play Northside on Tuesday. On Friday the boys will host William Byrd at Hollins and the girls play the Terriers in Vinton. Those are the last matches before next week’s spring break.
