Mocs Roll Past Winthrop with 5‑0 Shutout

Four second‑half goals and a record‑breaking clean sheet lift Chattanooga to 1‑0‑1

On Saturday afternoon, the Mocs traveled to Eagle Field in Winthrop, South Carolina, where they posted a 5‑0 win that was never in doubt after the break.

Four different players found the net in the second half, with Quinn Johnson, Landry Olson, Ayden Wood and Molly Johnson each adding a goal, while a own‑goal by Winthrop completed the scoring.

Chattanooga outshot the Eagles 14‑5 and limited them to just five shots on goal, underscoring the team's control of possession and attacking efficiency.

In goal, Caroline Ekern delivered a performance that cemented her place in program history, recording her 34th career win and 22nd clean sheet, a new high for the Mocs.

The Mocs improve to 1‑0‑1 on the season and will next test their mettle on the road against Belmont in Nashville on Thursday, August 20, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

A Record‑Breaking Clean Sheet

Ekern’s shutout not only secured the fifth straight clean sheet of her career but also marked the first shutout of the 2026 season for the Mocs, a milestone that reflects the defensive cohesion cultivated by head coach Mike O'Brien.

The victory also showcases the depth of the roster, with five different goal scorers illustrating the balanced attack that the coaching staff has been eager to develop.
