CHATTANOOGA --- The Chattanooga Mocs softball program looks to build off its midweek upset win over Auburn with a crucial three-game Southern Conference series against Furman on Saturday and Sunday in Greenville S.C.
 
Originally a doubleheader, Saturday will be a single game beginning at 6:00 p.m. ET due to forecasted inclement weather. Sunday's series finale doubleheader kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET. All three games will broadcast LIVE on ESPN+.
 
Chattanooga (10-21, 5-6 SoCon) earned a 1-0 win over SEC-member Auburn on Wednesday to snap a five-game skid, earning its first win over an SEC program since 2015. The Mocs have dropped their last five conference games and currently sits in fourth place in the league standings. The top four teams advance to the SoCon Tournament this season due to COVID scheduling.
 
Furman (15-22, 6-3 SoCon) is coming off a key SoCon three-game sweep against ETSU last weekend, allowing the Paladins to jump into a tie of second place in the league standings. Redshirt-sophomore Mackense Greico leads the Paladins' offense hitting .327 with seven homers and 25 runs batted in, while junior Emily Bartlett has batted with four homers and 11 RBI.
