GREENSBORO, N.C. – North Carolina junior Brayden Schnur has been named Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Tennis Players of the Week, the ACC announced on Tuesday.
Schnur, a communication studies major from Pickering, Ontario, helped lead UNC to the program’s first-ever ITA National Indoor Team Championship over the weekend in Charlottesville, Va. The Tar Heels beat No. 1 Virginia, the tournament’s host, 4-2 on Monday for the title. The UNC win broke the Cavaliers’ streak of 140 consecutive wins over ACC opponents.
Playing at the No. 1 singles spot, Schnur earned two key wins in the tournament, including one over defending NCAA singles champion Ryan Shane of Virginia, 2-6, 7-5, 7-6(4), that tied the championship match at 2-2.
