NOTRE DAME, Ind. — No. 42 Notre Dame Men’s Tennis earned a sweeping, 4-0 ACC victory over Louisville at the Eck Tennis Pavilion on Saturday afternoon. The Irish move to 10-8 overall and 4-4 in conference play.

After winning the doubles point behind victories from Tristan McCormick/Axel Nefve and Matthew Che/Richard Ciamarra, the Irish took their 1-0 lead into singles play.

Quick singles victories from Ciamarra, Connor Fu, and Brandon Ancona would be enough to secure the Irish lead and defeat the Cardinals in a sweep.
