The Chattanooga Football Club has three games left this season, starting with tonight’s match against FC Tulsa. Win all three and the second-year squad will guarantee itself the National Premier Soccer League’s Southeast Division title.
At 3-0-2, Chattanooga FC sits atop the Southeast standings with 11 points, three more than second-place Rocket City United had going into its game against Tulsa late Saturday night. And two of CFC’s final three games are at home.
Midfielder Fynn Glover said the players aren’t thinking or talking about the big picture yet, not with a tough opponent awaiting them tonight at 7 at Finley Stadium.
“We don’t ever talk about that stuff (championships),” Glover said. “I think most athletes are like that — they don’t want to get ahead of themselves.”
Chattanooga FC opened its season with three straight Southeast Division wins, plus the confidence-boosting exhibition win over the under-23 team from FC Atlas of Guadalajara, Mexico. The road has been a bit bumpier of late, however, with CFC playing to back-to-back ties in its past two games.
