CHARLESTON, S.C. -- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's tennis team lost 4-0 to the top-seeded College of Charleston in the Southern Conference tournament Friday morning, but the fifth-seeded UTC women edged fourth seed Samford 4-3 and will play in the semifinals today at 1 against No. 1 seed UNC Greensboro (17-5). The Mocs ended their season 14-9, increasing their win total for the third year in a row. The Lady Mocs (16-5) lost 5-2 last weekend to Samford but won the nearly five-hour rematch as Emily Hangstefer at No. 3 singles and Kaylene Chadwell at No. 2 rallied for three-set victories to close it out. Chadwell took the last four games for a 7-5 win after surviving a match point. UTC earned the doubles point with wins by Chadwell with Alexa Flynn and Hangstefer with Shaina Singh, and Jenna Nurik's win at No. 1 singles made it 2-0 before Samford (15-6) went up 3-2.
Football
• Former Soddy-Daisy High School and Austin Peay quarterback Gary Orr will start at that position tonight when the Chattanooga Generals indoor football team makes its debut at the Camp Jordan Arena. The Generals face the Chattahoochee Valley Vipers at 7 p.m., and general admission costs $10. Premium seating costs $15. Other likely offensive starters for the Generals, according to coach Rick Butler, are center Eddie Williams, guards Dominique Bacon and Michael Tribue, fullback Daccus Turman and receivers Derek Watson, Charles Owens Jr. and Mark Caldwell. Probable defensive starters are free safety Quinton Meaders, cornerbacks Ray Cheatham and Marcus Williams, linebackers Frank Padilla and Dorian Davis, noseguard Chris Tucker, end John Brown and "a combination of guys at the other end," Butler said Friday. He added that receiver Chris Shiverdeck from Alcoa and defensive back Montez Davis from Cleveland "will play." The team was formed late and "we are behind every team we play," Butler said, "but they've picked it up fast. Still, we don't really have guys with a lot of arena experience, and even though it is not a complicated game, it is a different one."
