Box Score The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's tennis team scored a 5-2 win at Belmont tonight.  UTC needed four singles victories after dropping the doubles point to improve to 4-2 on the year.

"It was great win today," stated Mocs head coach Chad Camper. "We lost the doubles point against a very smart, very good Belmont team, but I was really proud of the way we fought back."

Trailing 1-0 sophomore Delaney Edwards got things going for Chattanooga with her (6-4, 6-2) win at No. 2.  The Mocs followed that with wins from junior Samantha Caswell at No. 1, sophomore Caroline Hall at No. 3, and a three-set victory from sophomore Sydney Patton at No. 4.

"Delaney taking care of business at No. 2 set the tone of the match," added Camper.  "After that, wins kept coming and coming."

Belmont's only point in singles came at No. 5.  Senior Rachele Gazzola won her match at No. 6 in a pro set (8-5). 

"I am super proud of how we played," continued Camper. "We are such a young team, but we are learning every day.  This was great preparation heading into tomorrow's match against a tough Lipscomb team."

The Mocs face the Bison at 8:00 p.m. (E.S.T.).  Check back to GoMocs.com for a complete recap and scores.
