Men’s Tennis lines up three consecutive matches to kick off home slate
Carson-Newman will host Montreat and King at the Knoxville Racquet Club on back-to-back days before travelling to Harrogate for a bout with Young Harris on Sunday.
JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – Carson-Newman will host Montreat and King at the Knoxville Racquet Club on back-to-back days before travelling to Harrogate for a bout with Young Harris on Sunday.
The men kick off with Montreat on Saturday. Montreat men's tennis was 4-13 last season overall and 4-4 in conference play. Ultimately, the men would advance to the first round of their conference tournament, where they would play Milligan and lose the match.
This isn't the first time Montreat has seen the Eagles in the 2025-25 season. The two teams dueled early in the fall, playing six singles matches that wouldn't count to either team's record. The doubles matches were supposed to be played the next day, but were cancelled because of weather.
Montreat is currently 1-3 and is fresh off a 0-7 loss to North Carolina A&T State University. Before that, they dropped a tight contest to fellow SAC foe Mars Hill. The Cavaliers swept the doubles before dropping four of their six singles matches. For comparison, Carson-Newman beat Mars Hill 5-0 last season.
The Eagles will play King the next day. The Tornado are 1-2 this season, including a win and a loss over fellow SAC opponents. King beat Emory & Henry in the fall and most recently fell to LMU 1-6. The Tornado also have a very new look team with just three players returning to the roster this season. This will be the 7th all-time meeting between the Eagles and the Tornado. Should C-N win, they would register just their second win all time against King.
The weekend will cap off with Young Harris in Harrogate on Sunday. Young Harris made an appearance at the Conference Carolinas postseason tournament, beating Emmanuel in the first round and then falling to Francis Marion. Last season, Carson-Newman defeated Young Harris 4-1 at LMU's Indoor Tennis Facility. The men lost the doubles point, but came back to win all of their singles matches.
Young Harris also has a three-match series coming this weekend. The Mountain Lions will face LMU the day before they play the Eagles and Johnson City the day before that. C-N has met with the Mountain Lions ten times in their history and owns a 4-6 record against them.
Carson-Newman is coming off their opening week, where the Eagles fell 0-5 to the University of the Cumberlands in their opening match of the season, and dropped a 4-3 exhibition match to Sewanee, which is ranked in Division III.
First serve between the Cavaliers and the Eagles is scheduled for 6:00 PM at the Knoxville Racquet Club. For updates, follow @CN_Eagles on X and Instagram, or Carson-Newman Athletics on Facebook. Full coverage is also available at cneagles.com.
