CHATTANOOGA vs. UNCG

After that loss, UTC went on a 38-1 run against the Spartans with the only loss being a three-point fall at home in 2007. Last year, without two of its top three scorers, Chattanooga fell in double-overtime to the Spartans in the quarterfinal round of the SoCon Tournament. Freshman Brooke Burns stepped up and scored a career-high 36 points in the effort. UTC swept the regular season.
