On the latest episode of Mocs on the Mic, host Chris Goforth talks with women's basketball head coach Shawn Poppie and junior Sigrun Olafsdottir about the Mocs upcoming trip to the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
In just his second season, Poppie is leading the Mocs to his second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance after leading Chattanooga to yet another Southern Conference Tournament win in Asheville, N.C.
Sitting at a record of 28-4 on the year, the 2023-24 Mocs are the No. 14 seed in their region, pitting UTC against the No. 3 seeded NC State Wolfpack coached by former Chattanooga head coach Wes Moore. Having swept the SoCon regular season and tournament titles this season under the league's Coach of the Year in Poppie, the Mocs will be aiming to make some noise in Raleigh, N.C., this coming weekend.
Sigrun Olafsdottir's 2023-24 season has seen the Iceland native come away with honors that include being named to the 2024 SoCon All-Defensive Team as well as taking home the 2024 Pinnacle Award at the SoCon Tournament.
Touted as one of the best defensive players in the entire conference, Olafsdottir has a big decision waiting for her at the conclusion of the team's NCAA Tournament run with the four-year starter still deciding whether or not she intends to utilize her final year of eligibility next season.
