CHATTANOOGA (January 1, 2026) – Welcoming in the new year, the Chattanooga Mocs men’s tennis program and head coach Chuck Merzbacher have completed its 2026 spring schedule and now eyes the season opener set for January 24 against Belmont in Nashville.
 
The Mocs will open the 2026 spring season with four-straight matches away from the Scenic City, beginning with back-to-back contests in Nashville at Belmont on January 24 and at Lipscomb the following day. UTC will then head to Oxford, Miss., for a battle against SEC-member Ole Miss on January 31 and a neutral match against Southern Miss on February 1.
 
Chattanooga kicks off its 10-match home slate on February 6 against Gardner-Webb while welcoming the likes of Kennesaw State, Tennessee State, Toledo and Austin Peay all throughout the month of February. UTC opens SoCon play at home against The Citadel on March 7 ahead of a non-conference home tilt against Jacksonville State on March 10 and six-straight league matches to end the regular season.
 
The 2026 SoCon Tournament returns to Chattanooga’s Champions Club for yet another season. The automatic bid to the NCAA Regionals will be up for grabs from April 16 through April 18.
