The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s basketball team snapped a two-game skid Thursday night with a 52-36 win over Western Carolina at McKenzie Arena.

The Mocs improved to 17-7 overall and 9-2 in the Southern Conference, strengthening their hold on first place in the eight-team standings and moving a step closer to the top seed for the league tournament with just three regular-season games remaining.

Second-place Wofford (15-11, 9-3), which split the regular-season series with UTC, is just a half-game behind but has just two games left before the tournament. The Mocs swept their regular-season series with third-place Furman (16-11, 8-4), which also has two to go.
