Virginia men’s tennis freshmen Jeffrey von der Schulenburg (Zurich, Switzerland) and Iñaki Montes (Pamplona, Spain) have been named the ACC Men’s Tennis Doubles Team of the Week as announced Tuesday by the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Montes and von der Schulenburg won a pair of matches at the No. 3 court in a pair of 5-2 road wins over No. 13 Wake Forest and No. 16 NC State. The Cavalier duo defeated NC State’s pair of Yannai Barkai and Collin Shick, 6-3, and clinched the doubles point against Wake Forest’s tandem of Taha Baadi and Melios Efstathiou, 6-3.

Montes and von der Schulenburg are 8-2 in doubles this season and have won their last five matches.

This is the second time this season a Cavalier tandem has been named the ACC Men’s Tennis Doubles Team of the Week as junior Ryan Goetz (Greenlawn, N.Y.) and freshman Chris Rodesch (Angelsberg, Luxembourg) earned the honor on January 26. Von der Schulenburg was named the ACC Men’s Tennis Singles Player of the Week that same week.
