Box Score

CULLOWHEE, N.C. - Western Carolina women's soccer (8-6-1, 3-4 Southern Conference) suffered its first home loss of the season, falling 3-0 to Chattanooga (6-7-1, 1-6 SoCon) Friday, at the Catamount Athletic Complex.

The Catamounts took a season-high 25 shots against the Mocs but couldn't seem to find the net. Western Carolina came out aggressive, logging two quick shots in the first minute of the contest. Junior Lindsay Carter sailed a shot from 25 yards out, and it just missed, skimming the top of the goal.

Although Chattanooga took just seven shots in the match, the Mocs made the most of the small window afforded to them.

Chattanooga scored first at the 9:18 mark when Kelsey Swann took a thru ball from Donna-Kay Henry and slipped it past Catamount goalie Katie Jacobs. Western Carolina continued its attack and was turned away time and time again.

The Mocs made coming back for Western Carolina a herculean effort when it scored a second goal at 30:50. Henry took a pass from Crystal Mackezyk and juked her way in the box and scored.

Chattanooga scored its final goal of the match at 75:39 with the credit going to Mackezyk from Becca Smith.

Western Carolina's Samantha Hodge and Lindsay Carter each had five shots. Freshman goalie Jennifer Lauer saw action in the match, entering the second period with 12:17 left. Lauer was held Chattanooga scoreless in her 12 plus minutes in goal.

The Catamounts will look to halt its three-game slide when it hosts Samford on Sunday. Match time is set for 2 p.m.
