Ambitious Hoos Continue Tough Schedule
February 10, 2006
One of the most interesting topics for college sports these days seems to be the scheduling of football and basketball teams.

Hey, did you see who so-and-so is playing this year? More often than not, however, it seems like a majority of teams in those sports simply don't play the headline-grabbing opponent.
Well, if you're a fan of ambitious and challenging scheduling, look no further than the University of Virginia men's tennis team.

Somdev Devvarman: How an Indian Ace Became a Cavalier
May 20, 2005
 International recruiting is important in college tennis. Just look at #1 Baylor, which has a starting lineup composed entirely of foreign players.

Devvarman, the ACC's Freshman of the Year, has produced an overall singles record of 37-6 and is just three wins shy of tying UVa's season record for victories. That he even made his way to Grounds is a testament to head coach Brian Boland's persistent recruiting. Devvarman flirted with turning professional before Boland sold him on college tennis, and college life, in Charlottesville.

How did that happen? In truth, it took some time and a number of important events to turn a historically mediocre program into one of the nation's best. From facilities to coaches to players, UVa tennis has undergone dramatic upgrades in recent years.
