Why I chose UTC
"I chose UTC because I love the city and I wanted to be somewhere to not just be stuck in school but to go and explore outside the city and most things to do are not far away. Also I've wanted to play D1 soccer forever and I believe Coach Gavin is one of the best coaches out there. He will always do what is best for the team! Also wanted to have another opportunity to play with my sister!"
 
Fact #8
The Mocs hit the road for 10 matches this season and will play two exhibitions away from the Scenic City as well. After getting their feet wet this weekend at Belmont and Tennessee Tech, the Mocs will travel to Eastern Kentucky on opening weekend then North Alabama to finish out August.
 
After a brief dip at home, Chattanooga will take on Georgia State in Atlanta. The Mocs match at Vanderbilt on September 12 in Nashville and Alabama A&M in Huntsville on September 19 will be Thursday night thrillers.

The next weekend will see UTC at Mercer and The Citadel. The season will close out on the road in Birmingham at Samford on October 27.
