"It was a hard fought game against a much improved Alabama A&M side," Chattanooga head coach
Gavin McKinney said. "We created some good chances throughout the match and we were unlucky on a few occasions to not find an earlier goal. Cat Meyer scored a great goal for the winner."

Sophomore
Jordan Mueller (Hendersonville, Tenn.) set the ball back to redshirt freshman
