MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (January 26, 2025) – The Chattanooga Mocs women's tennis team concluded weekend play in Murfreesboro, Tenn., with a 7-0 road loss to host Middle Tennessee inside the MTSU Tennis Facility on Sunday afternoon in non-conference action.
Chattanooga (1-3) saw the No. 1 doubles team of
Rozalie Dohnalova and
Alice Hall capture a 7-5 victory after Middle Tennessee (2-2) had already earned the team point with convincing wins at No. 2 and No. 3. Dohnalova and Hall are coming off a strong 2024 spring where the duo finished the season 14-6 overall in doubles action.
UTC was forced to forfeit the No. 6 singles slot which allowed MTSU to lead 2-0 in the match. The Blue Raiders captured the match-clinching fourth point after wins at No. 1 and No. 4 while the Mocs narrowly added team tallies with
Savannah Presson (No. 2) and
Margaret Manolache (No. 5) both dropping hard-fought, three-set matches.
