A Fresh Start for the Mocs
The Chattanooga Mocs soccer team will begin its 2026 season on August 12, hosting UT Martin at Finley Stadium. The fixture marks the first meeting between the programs since a 2‑2 double‑overtime draw in 2017, a game that added a memorable chapter to a series that now stands at 5‑3‑2 in favor of the Mocs.
Chattanooga enjoys a strong home record against the Skyhawks, holding a 4‑1‑1 ledger in matches played at Finley Stadium. That edge adds extra excitement to the season opener, as the team looks to translate home‑field advantage into an early statement win.
A key storyline for the Mocs involves goalkeeper Caroline Ekern, who has returned to the lineup after an NCAA ruling restored her fifth year of eligibility. Her presence bolsters a defense that aims to build on the momentum of recent performances.
Fans can follow the action and stay updated on the team's progress through the official website, GoMocs.com, where schedules, rosters and ticket information are posted for every match of the upcoming campaign.
