April 13, 2009 | by Garrett Busic, CT sports staff writer

The No. 22 Virginia Tech men's tennis team (13-6, 6-4 ACC) wrapped up its spring regular season on Easter weekend.

At No. 51 NC State on Friday, the Hokies edged the Wolfpack by a score of 4-3. Tech made its way across the state Sunday and fell to a 6-1 defeat against No. 25 Wake Forest.

The Hokies beat State with the help of a clutch win by Nicolas Delgado de Robles. He took down the No. 36 ranked player in the nation, Jay Weinacker, in an upset that propelled his team to victory.

Other Hokies to come away with wins that day included Patrick Daciek and Brandon Corace. Tech also took the doubles point after winning two of three doubles matches.

On Sunday against the Demon Deacons, Delgado de Robles couldn't pull off the upset against No. 21 ranked Cory Parr. Brandon Corace was the only Hokie to come away with a win on the day, winning his match easily in straight sets.

The Hokies return to action in the ACC championships, which will be held in Cary, N.C., from April 16-19.
