Van Hee, Gibbens Ranked Heading Into Weekend Action

Mocs host Western Carolina on Saturday at 10:00 a.m.

***TIME CHANGE*** Saturday's match vs. Western Carolina will start at 12:00 p.m. at the UTC Tennis Center.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's tennis team is home this weekend, hosting Western Carolina on Saturday, March 7.  First serve is set for 10:00 a.m. (E.S.T.) at the UTC Tennis Center.

"The team is excited to play at our outdoor facility," stated head coach Chad Camper.  :We have had a good week of practice and look forward to getting things lined up to compete at a high level on Saturday."

Junior Emma Van Hee and sophomore Caroline Gibbens cracked the Oracle/ITA Division I Women's Rankings for the first time.  The Mocs top doubles tandem is No. 76 in the listing released on March 3.

They are 6-6 in the spring, playing mostly at the No. 1 spot.  They scored a huge win over Tennessee's No. 8 ranked duo of Kaitlin Staines and Tenika McGiffin on Feb. 21. 

As a team, Chattanooga is 7-5 overall and 0-1 in SoCon action after last week's 5-2 loss to No. 37 Furman.  Van Hee leads the way with a 9-1 singles mark, while freshman Callie Billman is 8-2 in the spring.  Both play in the bottom half of the Mocs lineup.

Western Carolina carries an 0-7 record into the weekend, including an 0-1 mark in SoCon duals.  The Catamounts lost to UNCG 5-2 on Saturday. 

The Mocs are 30-1 all-time against Western Carolina.  Last year's 4-3 loss was the only setback in the series that dates back to 1988.
