The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's tennis team has two matches on the schedule this week. The Mocs host Detroit on Thursday before traveling to Jacksonville State on Friday, to take on the Gamecocks.  
 
Thursday's Match against the Titans is set for a 2:30 start time (E.S.T) at the Champions Club. This is the first time Chattanooga faces the Detroit Titans.
 
"We are excited about our two non-conference matches this week," stated UTC head coach Carlos Garcia.  "After playing well at times in our first conference match last Sunday at UNCG, these matches could very well provide the platform for us to really get things going with our doubles and singles.
 
"We are looking forward to hosting the Detroit Titans of the Horizon League for the first meeting between both programs and also looking forward to renewing our friendly rivalry with Jacksonville State which was rained out last year."  
 
UTC is off with a 4-8 start, while the Titans are 5-8.  Detroit lost to Mercer (5-2) on Tuesday and Kennesaw State (4-0) yesterday. 
 
The Mocs are 12-8 all-time against Jacksonville State, including losses in each of the last two meetings.  These two teams have met in nine of the last 10 years.  UTC lost the last meeting 4-3 in Chattanooga on Feb. 7, 2015.
