The No. 3 seed Chattanooga Mocs women's tennis team is set to compete against No. 6 UNCG in the Southern Conference Championship quarterfinals on Thursday at 10:30 a.m. (ET) in Chattanooga. Freshmen Addison Iacono and Rufaro Magarira have been recognized on the All-SoCon First Team and All-Freshman Teams for their outstanding performances this season, with Iacono achieving an 11-4 record and Magarira boasting a remarkable 27-6 overall singles record.

By the Numbers
  • Chattanooga has a 16-4 overall record this season, marking the most wins since 2016.
  • Rufaro Magarira holds a 16-2 record in dual matches, tying for the second most wins in a single season in program history.
Yes, But

While Chattanooga has been successful this season, they haven't claimed a SoCon Tournament title since 1990, and the team is looking to break a 2022 tournament win drought.

State of Play
  • Chattanooga finished with a 5-2 SoCon record this season, the highest since 2016.
  • The Mocs have won their last six meetings against UNCG, including a 5-2 victory this season.
What's Next

If successful against UNCG, Chattanooga will advance to the semifinals on April 17, aiming for their first SoCon Tournament title in over three decades.

Bottom Line

The Mocs must leverage their current momentum and the talents of Iacono and Magarira to secure tournament success, as they seek to end a long title drought in the SoCon Championships.
