Mocs Fall at ETSU 4-2

Box Score The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's tennis team dropped a 4-2 match at ETSU today.  Weather forced action indoors to the Bristol Racquet Club in Bristol, Tenn. 

With only four courts available for a limited time, the day started with singles.  Since ETSU clinched the win in singles, doubles were not contested.

ETSU opened with a 2-0 lead after wins at No. 2 and No. 1.  The Mocs quickly answered when senior Rachele Gazzola scored a win at No. 5.  That was followed by sophomore Sydney Patton's win at No. 4 to tie the score at 2-2.

Both sophomores Caroline Hall and Mckenzie Barco lost in three sets at No. 3 and No. 6, respectively. 

"I was really proud of the fight today," stated UTC head coach Chad Camper.  "We played a very experienced and successful ETSU team and really took it to them.  All season long, a lot of things have fallen on our side, but today a couple of things didn't.

The loss drops the Mocs to 11-4 overall and 1-1 in SoCon action.  ETSU improved to 6-4 and 1-0 in league matches. Next up for the Mocs are trips to Western Carolina and Wofford next weekend.
