The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men’s tennis team lost 7-0 at UNCG this afternoon.  The Mocs battled the doubles point down to the wire, and could not get going in singles in the loss.

Sophomore Gino Delavalle and Pavels Grigorjevs lost in a tiebreaker at No. 2.  They fell (8-7 (7-4)) to Ahmet Sarioglu and Daniel Mack to give the Spartans a 1-0 lead.
