Mocs Fall to Austin Peay 6-1 in Home Opener

| By:
Box Score The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's tennis team dropped a 6-1 match to Austin Peay at the Hixson Racquet Club tonight.  Sophomore Jackson Tresnan (Apopka, Fla.) scored the lone point for the Mocs (0-3, 0-0 SoCon) in his win at No. 4 singles. 

The doubles point was a spirited affair that needed a tiebreaker in the third match to decide the outcome.  Sophomores Chris Smith (Johnson City, Tenn.) and Stephen Crofford (Franklin, Tenn.) won their No. 3 match over John Storie and Joao Pagan 8-3.  APSU (1-0, 0-0 OVC) evened it up when Sean Bailey and Henrique Norbiato won 8-3 at No. 1 over Tresnan and freshman Trent Cobb (Melbourne, Australia). 

That left the No. 2 match between the Govs Jasmin Ademovic and Remi Calleja and sophomores William Disterdick (Hixson, Tenn.) and Roberto Vieira (Bedfordview, South Africa) as the decider.  The match was all square at 4-4 in the tie break when APSU ran off the final three points for the win and the 1-0 lead. 

Austin Peay went on the win the first five singles matches, and four in straight sets.  Tresnan scored the lone singles win for the Mocs with a 6-5, 6-4 victory against Calleja at No. 4.  It was his first win in dual action in the spring. 

The Mocs travel to Memphis on Sunday to face the No. 58 Tigers.  Match time is set for 1:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) at the Racquet Club of Memphis.  Check back to GoLobos.com for complete scores following the event.
