1/26/2025 3:25:00 PM | Women's Tennis
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Following a season-opening 4-1 win over Louisville on Friday, the Middle Tennessee women's tennis team (2-2) won its second consecutive match of 2025 today in a 7-0 result against the Chattanooga Mocs (1-3) at the Adams Tennis Complex on Sunday.
The Blue Raiders started off the match by winning the doubles point with winning the second-seeded match, and Ilaria Sposetti and Cassidy Mataia winning in the third-seeded match 6-0, and Alessia Truden and Rutuja Chaphalkar clinching the point over UTC's Madlena Orlova and Savannah Presson 6-1.
In singles play, due to injury, Chattanooga was forced to forfeit court six, moving the score to 2-0 in favor of MTSU. Truden earned the third point of the afternoon with a 6-2, 6-2 win as the No. 1 seed and
Mataia clinched the match with a straight sets victory as the No. 4 seed, winning 6-3, 6-4 over UTC's Zara Burns. The Blue Raiders would claim the final three matches with Ilaria Sposetti, Rutuja Chaphalkar and Lena Peyer earning individual wins, resulting in a 7-0 sweep of Chattanooga to close out the first homestand of the 2025 season at the Adams Tennis Complex.
Quote from Coach Bailey-Duvall
"We played well today. There were some close matches and those are good to have to build character for later tough matches. I am happy with our performance this weekend, in particular Alessia and Cassidy. Looking forward to hitting the practice court and making some adjustments as we prepare for next weekend's matches in Nashville."
Next Up
The Blue Raiders will remain in the state of Tennessee for their upcoming matches, as they are set to take on the Vanderbilt Commadores and the Lipscomb Bisons in Nashville on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 at 11 a.m. and 12 p.m., respectively.
