The match is slated for 10 a.m. ET at the courts with live video and live stats available at the links below and also on the schedule page. The contest is the regular season finale for both teams ahead of next weekend’s SoCon Tournament held at Champions Club in Chattanooga.

The program will recognize seniors Peyton Gatti, Jordan McClure and Quinten Nevenhoven with a pre-match ceremony. Trading cards of the three seniors will also be available from the marketing table at the facility entrance.

Chattanooga (8-14, 2-4 SoCon) has been living on the edge over the past three weeks with four of its last five matches resulting in 4-3 decisions. The Mocs claimed one win during those four matches decided by a single point and look to snap an overall three-match skid. UTC is locked into the No. 5 seed for next weekend’s championships.

Despite the regular season finale, UNCG (6-14, 0-6 SoCon) is in search of its first league victory of the campaign with its first SoCon match in nearly three weeks. The Spartans have notched at least one team point in all six league matches this season and enter the weekend having won two of its last four duals.

The Mocs women's tennis team welcomes Mercer in their regular season finale in Southern Conference action on Saturday afternoon at the UTC Tennis Center on campus.


The match carries a 2:30 p.m. ET start time and will follow the men's match which begins earlier at 10 a.m. ET. Live video and stats are available at the links below and can also be found on the schedule page at GoMocs.com.
