CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- The Chattanooga Mocs saw their 10-match unbeaten streak come to an end Thursday night, falling 1-0 to Southern Conference foe Samford at Finley Stadium. Chattanooga outshot the Bulldogs 13-10 and held a 6-3 advantage in corner kicks, but a late goal proved to be the difference.

Chattanooga generated several quality chances in the second half. Paige Thomas forced a save in the 47th minute, while Quinn Johnson tested the keeper twice and Landry Olson added another shot on frame in the 77th minute.

The Bulldogs (7-2-5, 4-0-2 SoCon) broke the scoreless deadlock in the 83rd minute when Samantha De Luca finished a pass from Caroline Smith at the 82:39 mark for what proved to be the game-winning goal.
