Mocs on the Mic 146 - Tennis Season Review

On this episode of Mocs on the Mic presented by SmartBank, host Chris Goforth takes a dive into recapping the men's and women's successful tennis seasons with men's head coach Chuck Merzbacher and junior Peyton Gatti along with women's head coach Chad Camper.

The men's tennis team is coming off a historic 2023 campaign in which the squad won its first regular season Southern Conference title in program history. The Mocs, who finished 18-7 overall, made its first Southern Conference Tournament title match appearance since 2006 before eventually finishing as runner-ups in the event held at Champions CLub in town last week. The 18 wins are the most since 2005.

Junior Peyton Gatti was a key contributor for the team this season and was tabbed an All-Southern Conference First Team honoree at the No. 1 doubles postion. Gatti provided a thrilling 7-5, 7-5 comeback victory in the SoCon Tournament semifinals to clinch the team's 4-2 win over No. 5 Furman and punch its ticket to the championship match.

Coach Camper led the Chattanooga women's team to an ITA National Ranking earlier in the 2023 campaign, peaking at No. 70, before finishing the season with a 14-8 overall record. The team saw All-SoCon selections in Jessie Young, Caroline Gibbens, Lucia Garrigues-Melendez and Rozalie Dohnalova.
