CHATTANOOGA IN THE SOCON TOURNAMENT

RELIVING THE 2019 CHAMPIONSHIP
The Mocs' last SoCon Tournament Championship came in 2019 when the team entered the three seed. That's not the only thing similar between this year and three years ago… UNCG was the No. 1 seed and Samford entered the weekend as the No. 2 seed. Three players from this year's roster were on the 2019 squad: Emily Coltharp, Gracey Kruse and Hannah Wood.  

KEYLON ENDS REGULAR SEASON ON HIGH NOTE
Third-year sophomore outfielder Adison Keylon had the best weekend of her career to close out the regular season last weekend. She hit .857 and held a 2.143 slugging percentage after belting three home runs. She earned the final SoCon Player of the Week accolade of the season and the first of her career.
 
THREE MOCS EARN ALL-SOCON POSTSEASON ACCOLADES
For the fourth straight season, Chattanooga landed three student-athletes on All-SoCon postseason teams. Coltharp and Armour were first-team selections and Sellers earned a spot on the All-Freshman Team.
