CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (November 7, 2024) – The University of North Alabama women's tennis team is set to cap the 2024 fall season this weekend at the Chattanooga Invite from Nov. 8-10.
Traveling to Tennessee for the third time this season, the Lions look to conclude the season with a strong effort in the three-day tournament. The four-team event will feature UNA taking on the Mocs along with in-state rival Jacksonville State. Atlantic Sun Conference foe Bellarmine will also be at the tournament but will not face UNA.
In the last outing for North Alabama, the Lions had a great showing at the MTSU Hidden Duals and will look to continue the strong showings at Chattanooga. UNA left with 22 wins in Murfreesboro, leaving with the most victories among a field that included Middle Tennessee, EKU and Western Kentucky.
The weekend features doubles and singles action, starting with the two rounds of doubles action on Friday. Saturday begins two rounds of singles action, with the Lions set to face the Gamecocks at 2 p.m. Sunday finds UNA wrapping up the weekend with singles action against Chattanooga and Jacksonville State at 2 p.m.
Full results and a recap will be posted on RoarLions.com following the action, but fans can also follow along on the UNA Tennis social media pages.
