Catamounts Host Mercer Thursday in Final Regular Season Match

Looking to solidify sixth seed in upcoming SoCon tournament

CULLOWHEE, N.C. – Western Carolina women's tennis closes out the 2022 regular season Thursday welcoming Mercer to the Catamount Athletic Complex. UPDATED TIME - 2 p.m.

NEWS & NOTES

Western Carolina and Mercer meet for the 13th time on Thursday.
The Bears took the last meeting, on April 18, 2021, 5-2 in Macon, Ga.
Mercer is looking for its first Southern Conference victory of the season sitting at 0-5 in conference play.
Western Carolina, which is currently in sixth place, is looking to solidify that spot with a victory over Mercer. At the moment WCU and UNCG are both 1-5 in conference play, but the Catamounts have the tiebreaker over the Spartans. A Catamount victory would cement the sixth-place finish.
Should Western Carolina secure the sixth seed it would tie for the highest seed in the program's history. The Catamounts also earned the sixth seed in the 2018 season.
In the match against Wofford on Monday, senior Jacy Smith won her 34th career doubles match and continues to rank fourth in the WCU record books.
Sophomore Kata Foldeak won her eighth singles match of the season and her 17th in her career – moving her into the top 25 in the Catamount record books.
Western Carolina currently has 11 victories this season – the third-most in program history. A win over Mercer, on Thursday, would give the Catamounts 12 wins – tying for the second-most in the program's history.
