The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's tennis team has two road matches on the schedule this weekend.  The Mocs travel to Samford for a Southern Conference dual on Saturday, March 24, followed a Sunday match at Alabama State.

The Mocs take on the Bulldogs at Noon on Saturday at the Samford Tennis Center in Birmingham, Ala.  The dual against the Hornets is set for 1:00 p.m. (E.D.T.) on Sunday, March 25, at 1:00 p.m. at the Olean Black Underwood Tennis Center in Montgomery, Ala.

Samford enters the week with a record of 6-7 and will open its SoCon schedule on Thursday against Mercer.  The Bulldogs are coming off a 5-2 loss at College of Charleston last Thursday. Samford is 6-2 in home matches so far this season.

"Samford is one of those matches we train for all year," stated UTC head coach Chad Camper.  "When the players get the season's schedule they look to find Samford's date. They are a well-coached program and it will take all we have to get the win."

The Mocs are 13-16 all-time against the Bulldogs.  Samford has won the last two meetings and five of the last six. 

Alabama State is 9-5 overall, including five wins in a row.  The Hornets host Alabama A&M on Saturday, before the Mocs visit on Sunday.  These two teams have met each of the last three years, with the Mocs winning all three matches.
