Caroline Ekern has 27 saves on the year and a 1.71 goals against average. She has one shutout on the year.
The Bruins started the season with a loss to Lindenwood (1-3), but bounced back to beat MTSU 2-1 on the road. A four-game losing skid was snapped with a 3-1 win over Tennessee Tech followed by back-to-back wins over the Golden Eagles and North Alabama (1-0).
Ava Labocki has a team-best three goals and Reagan Ross has two. Kennedy Bernsen leads the Bruins with two assists. Labocki, Kaitlyn Elliott and Kate Virtel each have a game winning goals.

The Mocs came away with a 3-1 win over the Bruins, the first win in the series for Chattanooga. Betha Pucek scored the initial goal for UTC and Caroline Richvalsky connected on the eventual game winner early in the second half. Mary Beth Skelton scored an insurance goal late in the game for the Mocs 3-1 win. Belmont’s goal came on a penalty kick in the second half. The win extended the Mocs win streak to six games, the longest in program history.
