CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- The Chattanooga women's soccer team netted its second victory of the season with a 3-1 win over Lipscomb in Nashville on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

 

“Our backs remained constant,” UTC Head Coach J.D. Kyzer said. “We are starting to find ourselves and each other. We are able to use a lot of people with many coming in and out. It's something we've not been able to do in the recent past.”

 

Senior forward Marlee Jenkins took a feed from sophomore Serena Allen to get the Lady Mocs on the board early with a goal in the sixth minute. UTC would carry a 1-0 lead through most of the game until freshman Morgan Shelton nabbed her first collegiate goal, the game winner, on an assist from junior Chelsea Hurst with 60:34 gone in the game.

 

The Lady Mocs' freshman forward D.K. Henry scored her second goal of the season, unassisted, to give Chattanooga a 3-0 cushion at the 82:26 mark. It would be the Lady Mocs largest lead of the year. Lipscomb's Brandi Bresheres squelched UTC keeper Allie Preston's bid for her third shutout on the year with a goal in the 88th minute to cut the score to 3-1.

 

Preston had four saves in the game for UTC while the Lady Bisons' keeper Katie Shelton had six. Chattanooga was outshot by Lipscomb 21-19 but had nine shots on goal to the Lady Bisons' five. Lipscomb remain winless on the year at 0-4.

 

This was UTC's second straight win after gaining its first victory of the season Friday evening at Austin Peay.

 

"It's nice to be able to see people who have not scored yet in college to get the chance," Kyzer said.

 

Chattanooga improves to 2-2-1 overall and will remain on the road with a non-conference match at Jacksonville State Sept. 14.
