The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s soccer team was unable to put away a goal with the best opportunity it received Wednesday night at Finley Stadium.
Provided its own best chance, Virginia Military Institute did.
The Keydets’ Amber Levy punched in a goal on a misplayed ball in the box early in the Southern Conference tournament first-round match, and the defensive-minded visitors made the score hold up to win 1-0.
The Mocs, who were seeded seventh, end their season with an 8-8-3 record. VMI (7-8-2), the tournament’s lowest seed at No. 10, moves on to play at second-seeded UNC Greensboro at 2 p.m. Saturday in a SoCon quarterfinal.
Levy’s goal came in the 14th minute. Eleven minutes later, UTC sophomore Chloe Arnold was fouled in the box, but her ensuing penalty kick went wide.
