The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's tennis team is on the road this weekend at ETSU.  Match time is set for 10:00 a.m. (E.D.T.) on Sunday, April 8, in Johnson City, Tenn.

ETSU currently leads the Southern Conference race with a 5-0 league mark, 11-6 overall.  The Mocs are in a tie for fifth at 1-3, 8-12 overall.  UTC's eight wins are the most since posting 12 in 2013. 

"ETSU has been a nationally recognized tennis team for the last 10+ years," stated the Mocs' first-year head coach Chuck Merzbacher.  "They have been in numerous NCAA Championships and have tons of tradition. They have dominated SoCon Tennis since they rejoined the league.

"That being said, this UTC team has improved across the board and we know that our level of play needs to continue to improve to compete with ETSU. I know the team is looking forward to seeing how we can do against the top team in our league."

The Mocs are 10-17 all-time against ETSU.  UTC is trying to span a nine-match slide in the series and is going for its first win over ETSU since 2001.
