After making the first team as a freshman and sophomore, Vieira was slowed for a part of 2012 with a foot injury.  He still managed a 14-11 overall record and was 10-7 at No. 1, despite missing four matches.  He also had a 13-9 doubles record and is the first Moc to earn three All-SoCon honors since the league began handing out the awards in 1990. 

Vieira led the Mocs to a 13-8 mark in dual matches, their most wins since 2007.  Chattanooga went 4-6 in league matches, also its best showing since 2007. 

The Mocs are the No. 9 seed for the upcoming SoCon Tournament in Charleston, S.C.  UTC takes on Davidson at 9:00 a.m. (E.D.T.) on Thursday, April 19, at The Citadel.  A link for live scoring is available on the men's tennis schedule page on GoMocs.com.
