STATESBORO, GA ? The Georgia Southern women's tennis team begins its final homestand of the 2009 regular season this weekend, welcoming the Chattanooga Lady Mocs to the Hanner Tennis Complex Saturday, April 4. First serve between the Southern Conference rivals is slated for 2 p.m.

But the Eagles returned to winning ways with a taming of the Wofford Terriers (March 30), 6-1. Despite dropping the doubles point, Georgia Southern quickly rebounded in singles action earning victories at all six seeds to secure the SoCon victory and push its record to 11-5 overall and 5-2 in conference action.
Sophomore Melanie Rolle remains undefeated this dual season from the No.4 position. The Gainesville, Fla. native carries an 11-0 tally overall from the four seed with a perfect 7-0 record against SoCon opponents. Rolle looks to improve on a 10-match win streak she currently holds that dates back to February 14.
The Lady Mocs (5-11, 1-5) have dropped the last three conference match-ups to Furman, Davidson and Samford most recently. The Bulldogs recorded a 5-2 triumph over Chattanooga (April 1). The Lady Mocs registered singles victories at the five and six seeds, respectively. Jennemieke van der Veek boasts an 8-8 overall singles mark with a 4-4 ledger from the No. 2 seed for Chattanooga this season.
