After defeating Chattanooga 2-0, UT (1-1-0) hopes to build on that victory in their next in-state encounter with the Buccaneers.
Sammi Woods spearheaded Tennessee’s attack against UTC and scored the game’s first goal in the ninetieth minute with a gorgeous left-footed feed from Sarah Greiner.
Along with her goal, Woods was a standout performance in her Rocky Top debut, leading the team in game play for 77 minutes and leading the team with six total shots, three of which found the net.
