Mocs Fall on the Road at Western Carolina

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's tennis team dropped a 4-3 match at Western Carolina today.  The Mocs lost the doubles point and went 3-3 singles as their record evened at 7-7 overall and 0-2 in league action.  WCU improved to 11-6 and 1-2 in league duals with the win. 

Senior Delaney Edwards and sophomore Emma Van Hee scored a 7-6 (0) win at No. 1 doubles, but that came after the Catamounts had already secured the opening point.  Edwards and Van Hee improved to 7-5 at the No. 1 spot this spring. 

WCU went up 2-0 with a win at No. 6, but senior Caroline Hall put the Mocs on the board at No. 4.  She defeated Savannah Taranto (6-4, 6-4) to improve to a team-best 9-5 in the spring. 

The Catamounts led 3-1 after a win at No. 2, but Edwards again closed the gap with her victory at No. 3.  WCU went on to clinch the team win at No. 1, before Van Hee ended the match by taking the point at No. 5.  Van Hee is tied with Hall for the best singles record in the spring at 9-5. 

"The women played as hard as they could," stated head coach Chad Camper.  "With a slow start in doubles, we just couldn't find our rhythm." 

Up next for the Mocs are two SoCon road matches.  UTC is at ETSU on Saturday, March 30, and at Mercer on Sunday, March 31.
