No. 11 Alabama Rolls To A 6-0 Win Against Chattanooga

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The No. 11 Alabama soccer team (8-1-1, 1-0-0 SEC) closed its nonconference slate Sunday with a 6-0 win against Chattanooga (2-3-2). Six different players netted a goal with Ashlynn Serepca recording the game-winning shot in the first half. 

Gianna Paul, Kate Henderson, Macy Clem, Emelie Kobler and Sydney Vincens also found the back of the net, respectively, in the game.

“Overall, just very pleased with the performance. It would have been easy to look past this game. Coming off the big win verses South Carolina, and then looking ahead to Tennessee next, this would have been easy game to kind of lose focus, but I thought I thought we stayed very sharp for the game. Our mental approach was exactly what I wanted and I just thought it was a clean performance all around.”
