Match Notes
Mocs Look to Snap Three-Match Slide
Chattanooga (13-11, 7-5 SoCon) is currently on a three-match skid following losses to ETSU, Wofford and UNCG over the past two-week stretch. The slide follows the team's historic six-match win streak that proved to be the longest within a SoCon regular season stretch since 1999 (W9).
Mocs Remain in Hunt for Top-Three Finish
Chattanooga enters the week sitting in a two-way tie with UNCG for fourth place at 7-5 within the league, however, the
Mocs would claim the No. 5 seed if the season ended today due to the tiebreak scenario with the Spartans.
UTC is just one match behind Furman (8-4) and two behind Wofford (9-3) for third and second place, respectively. A top three finish in the standings would mark the first since the team finished third (10-6) in 2016.

Jackwin enters the week with 99 career service aces while actively leading the SoCon this season with 34, two clear of Mercer's Sammi Bergjans in second.
