The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s soccer team battled Eastern Kentucky University to a scoreless tie Sunday afternoon at Finley Stadium.
The Colonials (0-1-1) – who shared the Ohio Valley Conference regular-season championship last year – and Mocs (1-0-1) combined for seven shots on goal. But there were only a couple of really dangerous opportunities throughout the course of a match that featured more almost chances than actual ones.
“They are really organized and tough to break down,” UTC coach Gavin McKinney said. “They’re intelligent when they go forward with their movement. Overall, I thought it was a really even game, chances on both sides.
“Maybe a draw is accurate.”
UTC’s Jordan Mueller – who scored twice in Friday’s season-opening 3-2 win over Austin Peay – had a pair of shots on goal and four attempts total, including a breakaway she fired directly at EKU keeper Anna Hall. Freshman forward Chloe Arnold had the other shot on goal on three total attempts, but other than that, the majority of the match was a possession fight between the two teams deliberately looking for opportunities.
