Montreat Rallies To Win 2021 Women's Tennis Tournament Championship

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - No. 2 seed Montreat had to battle back, but it got the job done as it captured the 2021 Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) Women's Tennis Tournament championship on Saturday.

Montreat collected a 4-3 win over top-seeded Union, which had beaten Montreat 4-3 during the regular season.

This the Lady Cavaliers' first tournament championship since the conference resumed hosting the tournament in 2014.

The tournament was held at the Champions Club Tennis Complex in Chattanooga, Tenn.

The teams were tied at 2-2 when Union won at No. 5 singles. However, Montreat closed out the match by winning at No. 1 and then No. 2 singles for the 4-3 win and the tournament championship.

With the win, Montreat receives an automatic berth to the NAIA National Championship Tournament, which is set for May 18-22 in Mobile, Ala.
