Chattanooga 2, The Citadel 1

GREENVILLE, S.C. – The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s soccer team posted a 2-1 Southern Conference victory over The Citadel on Tuesday night at Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C. The match was a makeup after Sunday’s meeting was postponed due to historic flooding in Charleston, S.C.

The Mocs improve to 3-8-2 on the year and 1-2-1 in league play, while the Bulldogs fall to 1-12 overall and 0-3 against the conference.

After trailing 1-0 at halftime, the Mocs scored twice in the second half to get their first league win since defeating The Citadel 3-2 in 2012.

The Citadel scored first on an unassisted goal from Mady Riegel, who got past both the Chattanooga defender and keeper to put the Bulldogs on the board first in the 25th minute. That score would stand through halftime.

In the 65th minute, senior Skylar Brewer picked up a punt from freshman keeper Molly Miller in the 66th minute and went 1 v 1, sending her shot into the net for the equalizer.

It wouldn’t take Chattanooga long to get what would prove to be the game-winner. At the 71:48 mark, freshman Maddy Coleman whipped a cross into the back post, where senior Clare Latham picked it up and finished with a shot into the left corner for the game-winner.

The Mocs will close out the home slate with a pair of matches this weekend. Chattanooga will host UNCG on Friday night then honor its seniors prior to Sunday afternoon’s match against VMI.

The Citadel returns to action on Friday when it begins a four-game road swing. The first stop will be Western Carolina at 7 p.m. and then ETSU on Sunday at 2 p.m.
