CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's tennis team scored a solid 6-1 win over Alabama State in non-conference action today.  The Mocs swept the doubles and won five of six singles to improve to 12-6 overall.

Chattanooga only lost seven games in the three doubles matches combined.  UTC mixed up its lineup with senior Kelsey Coots and freshman Sydney Patton winning at No. 1.  Senior Kayla Jones and freshman Delaney Edwards got a win at No. 2, while sophomore Samantha Caswell and freshman Mckenzie Barco were in the lineup at No. 3.

The Alabama State match was a rescheduled contest that was rained out in February.  This was the regular season finale for the Hornets, who had already wrapped up the SWAC title with a 7-0 league mark.  They fell to 13-7 overall with today's loss.

"This was a good match for us," stated head coach Jeff Clark.  "Everybody got to play and was got a win against a good team."

The Mocs kept their regular lineup in singles, and won the first five matches in straight sets.  Coots won her first set over Marine Cartier (6-2), but lost the second (6-4).  Cartier won the match with a 10-7 win in the super tiebreaker.

The Mocs are back on the road this weekend with a trip to Furman.  First serve is set for 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 9, in Greenville, S.C.
