CHATTANOOGA (Jan. 21, 2024) — The Chattanooga Mocs women’s tennis team captured its first win of the 2024 season after rolling its way to a 6-1 victory over Tennessee State on Sunday afternoon inside the Strang-Voges Tennis Center at McCallie School.
Following the win, Chattanooga is now 1-2 on the season after the first two weeks of action. Tennessee State falls to 0-2 after the defeat.
Despite still competing shorthanded, Chattanooga was victorious in both doubles matches to capture the team point before rattling off all five active matches in singles play. The Mocs were forced to default the No. 6 singles spot which surrendered the lone team point.
“I’m proud of the women for coming out with a lot of energy today,” said head coach Chad Camper. “We played a lot of tennis this weekend and Tennessee State came out ready to play.”
Full match results can be found below. Chattanooga (1-2) returns to action Friday, January 25, inside the Strang-Voges Tennis Center at McCallie School and will take on North Alabama at 5 p.m.
