The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's tennis team has two matches on the slate for this weekend.  The Mocs host Lee University on Friday before traveling to Alabama on Saturday.

The Mocs match against the Flames is set for 6:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) at the Strang-Voges Tennis Center at The McCallie School.  Saturday's match against the Crimson Tide is 7:00 p.m. in Tuscaloosa, Ala.  A link for live scoring of the Alabama match is available on the men's tennis schedule page on GoMocs.com.

UTC is 0-1 after dropping Monday's season opener 7-0 at MTSU.  Friday's match against Lee is the first home contest of the spring. 

This is the first time UTC has hosted Lee since a 7-0 win on April 2, 2014.  Located in Cleveland, Tenn., Lee University is an NCAA Division II member of the Gulf South Conference.  This will be the Flames' first action of the spring. 

"We are looking forward to our home opener against Lee University," stated first-year head coach Chuck Merzbacher. "Everyone is working hard on their games and we know that all we need now is match play."

Alabama is 4-0 on the year, including a 6-1 win over Southern Conference foe The Citadel on Monday.  It is the Crimson Tide's best start since 2008.  This is only the third time the Mocs have face Alabama in men's tennis.  The Tide won both previous meetings in 1982 and 2003. 

"The SEC is certainly the top conference in tennis," added Merzbacher. "Alabama has a very strong team and we know that we will have our hands full at every position. We are looking forward to the challenge."
