OXFORD, Miss. - The Ole Miss women's tennis team will host Tennessee-Chattanooga and Troy State Saturday at the Gillom Sports Center. The Lady Rebels will take on the Lady Mocs at 10 a.m., followed by the Lady Trojans at 4 p.m.
The Lady Rebels opened the 2004 season last Sunday with a 7-0 win over Tennessee Tech. In that match, junior two-time All-American Chloe Carlotti made her debut with the Lady Rebels with a 6-1, 6-1 win over TTU's Marina Tasheva. The Lady Rebels did not drop a set in any of the singles matches and won the doubles point by a combined 24-4 score.
