The Chattanooga women's soccer team extended their unbeaten run at home with a hard‑fought 2‑1 victory over Eastern Kentucky on Tuesday night, improving their season record to 3‑1‑2.
Early Goal Sets the Tone
Savannah Dunahay opened the scoring just 1:24 into the match, slotting a quick strike after a precise pass from Emma Reeves that caught the Kentucky defense off guard.
Kentucky Answers Back
Eastern Kentucky responded in the 20th minute when Ronnie Ariel found the net, the effort set up by Peyton Smith, restoring parity and shifting momentum.
Mocs Regain the Lead
The Mocs answered shortly thereafter, with Landry Olson striking in the 38th minute after a well‑timed assist from Ayden Wood, putting Chattanooga back in front.
Throughout the contest the team dominated possession, outshooting the opposition 15‑7 and earning four corner kicks, while goalkeeper Lilly Kate Varino made two crucial saves and kept the visitors scoreless after the equalizer.
Looking Ahead
With the win, the Mocs climb to a 3‑1‑2 record and are scheduled to face Morehead State on September 6, a match that will test their early‑season form against a new opponent.
Individual contributors also shone, as Paige Thomas fired five attempts, three on target, while Quinn Johnson added five shots of his own, underscoring the squad’s attacking depth.
