Mocs Suffer Sweep at Samford on Wednesday Night
11/7/2018 8:40:00 PM | Volleyball
Chattanooga volleyball showed fight in a hard-fought, 3-0 loss during midweek SoCon action at Samford.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. --- The Chattanooga Mocs (9-19, 5-10 SoCon) volleyball team dropped a tough 3-0 (25-21, 25-12, 29-27) contest on the road in Birmingham on the campus of the Samford Bulldogs (15-14, 10-5 SoCon) on Wednesday evening inside the Pete Hanna Center.
With the loss, Chattanooga falls to 9-19 overall and 5-10 in league play. Samford keeps its second place slot locked up in the conference standings after improving to 15-14, 10-5.
The Mocs will have to sweep Western Carolina in its final regular season match on Friday night and get some help across the league to avoid the No. 8/No. 9 opening round matchup next weekend at the SoCon Tournament.
