UTC Mocs logoFor the second Sunday in a row, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga soccer team outplayed a visiting team at Finley Stadium but failed to score.
For the second Sunday in a row, victorious visitors left with a 1-1 record.
This one was a Pleasant experience for Alabama State, which won 1-0 despite being outshot 21-6 and being on the short end of an 8-1 margin in corner kicks. The Lady Hornets went 2-17-1 last year.
Chattanooga native and former Baylor School player Alex Cannon took their one corner, and she served the free kick that resulted in the sole goal. Her boot into the box in front of the net resulted in a close-range shot by Anastasia McCleary that Mocs keeper Lauren Thomas blocked, and India Pleasant poked in a putback 16:28 into the second half.
“I just wanted to get it in the 6, because I knew my center forward, India, would be there,” said Cannon, a sophomore who transferred to the Montgomery school from the University of the Ozarks. “It ricocheted off [Anastasia], and India was there to finish.”
