The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's tennis team heads to Mercer for a Tuesday afternoon Southern Conference match in Macon, Ga.  First serve is set for 2:30 p.m. (E.D.T.) at the Leroy Peddy Tennis Center. 

The Mocs enter the dual with a 6-6 overall record, including wins in four of their last five outings.  Sophomore Niklas Gerdes leads the team with a 7-4 mark at No. 1 singles in the spring.

Chattanooga is looking to go 2-0 in SoCon play for the first time since 2007.  The Mocs defeated The Citadel 4-3 on Feb. 23.  UTC has not won two SoCon matches in a season since 2014. 

The Mocs are 2-3 all-time against Mercer.  The Bears have won all three meetings since joining the SoCon in 2015.  This streak includes Mercer's 4-1 win in Chattanooga on April 6 of last year.
