Box Score The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's tennis team dropped a 7-0 Southern Conference match to ETSU at the Champions Club today. The Mocs were swept in all nine matches by the defending league champs.
Senior
Nic Wilson pushed his No. 4 singles bout to three sets before losing 12-10 in a super-tiebreaker. Chattanooga fell to 5-12 overall and 0-3 in league matches with today's setback.
"Today we simply got beat by a very good ETSU team," stated head coach
Carlos Garcia. "The Bucs got the early lead in doubles because our teams came out flat. However, in singles we competed much better and our overall energy improved."
