KENNESAW, Ga. – The Kennesaw State men's tennis team collected a 6-1 win over Chattanooga on Friday at the Betty Siegel Courts.
"I'm proud how this team responded after a tough loss last week," assistant head coach

It was always going to be tough after losing the doubles point and sweep all six singles matches against a tough team like Chattanooga shows how high this team's ceiling is. Excited to get back out there tomorrow against a talented UNCA team."
