Clark gets win 100 with UTC tennis
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's tennis team improved to 5-0 for the season and gave coach Jeff Clark his 100th win with the Lady Mocs with a 7-0 victory Friday evening against Austin Peay at the Racquet Club in Hixson. It was the fourth 7-0 win in a row for the 5-0 team. Clark is 100-84 in two stints with UTC. The former McCallie School and Vanderbilt player was 43-27 from 1999 to 2001 and is in the sixth year of his return to the program. "Chattanooga has such a tremendous tennis community, and it is an amazing place to coach," Clark said in a UTC release. "Getting to 100 wins is great, but it is really about the student-athletes. ... We have a bunch of good ones this year, and hopefully we can keep it going." The UTC men's team dropped to 4-2 with a 4-3 loss to Austin Peay at Baylor School.
