As has been the case all season long, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s soccer team was close to getting a big win last weekend.

And while the Mocs fell short against Southern Conference co-champion Furman, 1-0, they edged Wofford 1-0 on Sunday and have reason to see good things going forward. They take a 5-9-4 overall record and 3-4-2 SoCon mark into the league tournament as the sixth seed.

“I thought we played a good game as a team (against Furman). We can definitely improve upon that,” senior midfielder Emily Moseley said. “On Sunday we had a hard-fought win; Jordan (Mueller) scored a tough goal and we came together to help the seniors.”

UTC will play Friday night at No. 3 seed UNC Greensboro (8-7-3, 5-2-2). The regular-season meeting was a scoreless tie in Chattanooga on Oct. 8.

The Mocs have played some of the top teams in the league tough this season. In addition to the narrow loss to No. 1 seed Furman, they trailed No. 2 seed Samford by a goal in the second half of a game they eventually lost 3-1. They defeated fourth-seeded Western Carolina 1-0.
