A Debut to Remember
On August 22, 2026, the Vol State women's soccer squad recorded its maiden victory, a resounding 8‑0 win over Chattanooga State Community College. The final score underscored the team's readiness and set an immediate benchmark for future matches.
Six different Pioneers found the back of the net, showcasing depth and balance that few teams display in their first outing. Freshmen Jordyn Tucker and Madison Kirkham each contributed a goal and an assist, while Caitlin Skipper added a goal and two assists, highlighting the impact of the newcomers.
The second half proved especially explosive, as the team rattled off six goals within a twelve‑minute span. This surge not only widened the margin but also forced an own goal from the Tigers in the 68th minute, cementing the 36‑2 shot advantage.
Freshman goalkeeper Hailey Reed secured the clean sheet with a single save, demonstrating composure under pressure. The Pioneers will now turn their attention to their next contest against Dyersburg State, scheduled for August 30 at 1 p.m., where they aim to build on the momentum generated by this commanding performance.
