SEASON/TEAM NOTABLES | GAME NOTES
• Chattanooga's three-game losing streak includes a 1-0 extra-inning loss, and a pair of 2-1 losses, a feat that has only occured once since 1994. The five runs allowed in three-straight losses is the second-least in program history, with only one stretch besting the mark which came back in 2000 (L, 1-2, 0-1, 0-1).
• Sophomore shortstop and leadoff hitter Emily Coltharp has been more-than-steady in the No. 1 spot of the lineup, ranking 4th in the SoCon with a .388 (19-for-49) batting average. In addition to her plate presance, Coltharp is a perfect 8-for-8 in stolen base attempts this season and ranks third in the league with a .483 on-base percentage.
• Chattanooga has played a whopping 147 games in Clearwater/Tampa tournaments in program history, starting the annual trips back in 1996. Since 1996, UTC has skipped the location just once (2009 season). All-time, Chattanooga is 76-71 (.517) in the location while carrying a 65-50 (.565) record under current head coach Frank Reed (since 2002).
