The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's tennis team dropped a 6-1 match to Mercer today. UTC won the doubles point, but could not keep the momentum through singles play.
Mercer actually took the first doubles match when Sam Philp and Olivier Stuart defeated senior Lucas Plesky and Austin Boaz (6-2) at No. 1.
The Mocs responded when freshmen Simon Bustamante and Niklas Gerdes scored a 6-3 win at No. 2. UTC clinched the point behind a No. 3 win from senior Nic Wilson and freshman Pablo Llebeili.
Mercer took the first four singles matches to improve to 19-3 overall and 4-1 in league play. The Mocs fall to 5-15 overall and 0-6 in SoCon action.
UTC closes out the regular season next week at Samford. The SoCon Tournament is set for April 21-23 in Greenville, S.C.
