The Chattanooga Football Club women’s team moved into first place with Sunday’s 3-0 road win over the Atlanta Fire United.
Halfway through the Women’s Premier Soccer League’s regular season — and after winning just once in 2022 — Chattanooga FC (2-0-2) has eight points, most in the South Region’s Southeast Conference. The Charlotte Eagles, Georgia Impact and Women’s Football Club of Charlotte are tied for second at seven points apiece.
Nadiia Ivanchenko, a member of Ukraine’s national team, provided CFC’s first goal against Atlanta in the 70th minute, with the other scores came from Samantha Maudsley in the 78th and Krysan St. Louis in the 83rd. CFC has scored at least two goals in the second half in each match this season.
St. Louis has scored in all four, and three of the St. Lucian national team member’s goals have come between the 83rd and 89th minutes of matches.
CFC has outscored its opposition 14-4 in all, with nine of its goals coming in the second half. The next match is also on the road, next Saturday against the Nashville Rhythm; the two tied 2-2 in the season opener May 20 at Finley Stadium.
