The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's tennis team dropped a 4-0 home contest to the No. 62 Tennessee Volunteers today at The McCallie School.

"First off, what a great college tennis atmosphere tonight," head coach Jeff Clark said. "A huge thanks to Coach Voges for allowing us to play here and a great venue for these folks to come out here and watch some college tennis. It was a much better performance and effort and that is good. We wanted to turn the page and we competed very hard tonight against a good Tennessee team."

The Mocs fell 6-1, 6-1 in the No. 1 and No.3 doubles to go behind 1-0 in the match. The duo of Samantha Caswell and Katie Polk were in a 4-4 tie with Tennessee's M.C. Meredith and Kim Kermet, but their match ended unfinished.

In the singles competition, senior Kayla Jones took the first set 6-4 over the Vols' No. 60 nationally ranked Sadie Hammond. Hammond led 5-2 in the second set when their match ended unfinished.

"Kayla won the first set against a really strong opponent, so there were some bright spots for sure in this match," Clark said.

The Mocs (0-3) will look for their first regular season win on the road against Middle Tennessee State. The match is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 4 at 4 p.m.
