Belmont University’s women’s soccer team will host Chattanooga at E.S. Rose Park on Thursday, with kickoff scheduled for 5:00 p.m. Central Time. The match will be broadcast live on ESPN+, which will also provide real‑time statistics for viewers.
The Bruins entered the 2025 campaign with a 4‑6‑7 overall record and a 2‑4‑3 mark in league play, a finish that fell just one point short of the conference tournament. After opening the 2026 season with a draw against Tennessee Tech and a 2‑0 defeat at Samford, the team is looking to rebound quickly.
Chattanooga, known as the Mocs, concluded the previous season at 10‑5‑4 and secured fourth place in the Southern Conference with a 4‑2‑3 record, earning a berth in the tournament before bowing out to Furman. The Mocs began 2026 with a 5‑0 victory over Winthrop and a 1‑1 stalemate with UT Martin, showing early momentum.
Head‑to‑Head History
Historically, the two programs have met five times, with Chattanooga holding a 2‑1‑1 edge and winning the most recent encounter 4‑2 in 2025. Their last meeting in 2024 ended in a 1‑1 tie at Rose Park, a goal by Ava Labocki securing the shared point.
Key figures for Belmont include junior goalkeeper Greta Genie, an ECNL product who earned MVC Goalkeeper of the Week after a career‑high 10‑save performance against Samford, and midfielder/forward Ava Labocki, also a junior from the Ohio Premier ECNL circuit.
Both squads will be looking to fine‑tune strategies as the season progresses, with the Bruins aiming to climb out of early inconsistency and the Mocs seeking to build on their strong start.
