The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's tennis team has two matches on the schedule for the weekend, both in Nashville, Tenn. The Mocs travel to Tennessee State for a Friday afternoon dual against the Tigers, then visit Belmont on Saturday night.
Match time against the Tigers is set for 2:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) at Hadley Park. Chattanooga takes on the Bruins the following night at 7:00 p.m. at the Centennial Sportsplex.
"We are going up against some hard working teams," stated UTC head coach
Chad Camper. "There are no easy wins, and we will have to fight for every point in these next two matches. We had an excellent weekend and now we need to maintain that level."
UTC is coming off a pair of victories in Troy, Ala., last weekend. The Mocs defeated Alabama A&M (6-1) on Feb. 2, and followed that up with a big 5-2 victory at Troy on Feb. 3.
TSU is 2-1, with a pair of 6-0 wins against Mississippi Valley State and a 6-1 loss to UAB on Jan. 27. This is just the second meeting between these two programs. UTC won the other 5-0 on March 2, 1997, in Chattanooga.
Belmont is off to a 2-3 start, including wins over Western Kentucky (7-0) and Martin Methodist (7-0). They dropped matches to Samford (6-1), Alabama (7-0) and ETSU (7-0).
This is the third year in a row the Mocs face Belmont. UTC is 10-1 in the series that dates back to the 2001 season, including seven wins in a row.
