Bears, ETSU To Clash Thursday In Macon

MACON – The Mercer men's tennis team will ride the momentum of a big Sunday road win back into Macon on Thursday when the Bears suit up to take on Southern Conference rival East Tennessee State in a 2 p.m. matchup at the LeRoy Peddy Tennis Center. Admission is free.

Fans unable to make the trip to Middle Georgia can still follow all of the action in progress for free via a live scores link provided by the MU athletics department.

Mercer (6-6, 1-0 SoCon) trailed Chattanooga, 3-2, in Sunday's tilt at the UTC Tennis Center, but rallied for two-straight singles wins to eke out the triumph, including Amen Prince Gandonou's three-set win over Cortland Grove. The Orange & Black has now captured four of its last six outings, and is 4-2 in its home facility this season as well.

Nine-time defending SoCon Tournament champion East Tennessee State (8-5, 2-0) had its seven-match win streak snapped with a 4-0 setback at 65^th-ranked Florida Atlantic in their last action on March 19, but the Bucs have outscored league foes 13-1 so far this season. Thursday's outing at the LeRoy Peddy Tennis Center will also mark the fifth-stop in a six-match road trip for ETSU.

The Bucs lead the all-time series with the Bears, 20-1, but Mercer got on the board in the series with a 4-3 upset when the squads last met in Macon on March 16, 2023.
