The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's tennis team extended its winning streak to seven with a 5-2 victory over UT Martin today.  The Mocs improved to 7-2 overall and are on their longest run of wins since 2016.   

The Skyhawks made it tough early, taking the doubles point with the No. 2 and No. 3 matches.  Senior Delaney Edwards and sophomore Emma Van Hee won 7-5 at No. 1 to move to 6-2 in the top doubles spot. 

"I didn't think we did anything wrong in the doubles," stated UTC head coach Chad Camper.  "UT Martin just has a really good doubles lineup.  Still, it was a good win today.  It was the first time we lost the doubles point and won the match this season."

Chattanooga bounced back by taking the first set in four of the six singles matches.  Edwards was first off with a win at No. 4.  She is now 3-0 in that spot with three-straight wins.

Sophomore Bogdana Zaporozhets snapped a two-match slide with her win at No. 2.  That gave the Mocs a 2-1 lead that they would not relinquish. 

Senior Caroline Hall put UTC up 3-1 with her win at No. 3, while Van Hee clinched the match at No. 5.  Both Hall and Van Hee are riding seven-match winning streaks of their own in individual singles play. 

UTM scored at No. 1, and freshman Anna Didkovskaya closed out the match with a three-set victory at No. 6.

"Bogdana won convincingly at No. 2, and it was great to see the seniors, Delaney and Caroline, help us get ahead," added Camper.  "Emma closed it out and Anna had a heck of a win at No. 6.  That was the kind of battle I knew we were going to have and I was really glad to get the win." 

Up next for the Mocs is a trip to Tennessee on March 2.  First serve is set for 4:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) in Knoxville, Tenn.
