SAMFORD SERIES HISTORY | LAST MEETING
Mercer and Samford will meet for the 14th time in history when they meet on Friday evening. The visiting Bulldogs hold the 8-2-3 advantage and have taken three of the last five in the series. In April, Samford took a 6-1 decision in Birmingham during the 2020-21 season.
CHATTANOOGA SERIES HISTORY | LAST MEETING
Mercer and Chattanooga will meet for the ninth time in history when they meet on Sunday afternoon. A 13th-minute goal by Chloe Arnold lifted the host Mocs to the win this past March. In the last four, the two sides have split them evenly – one win, one loss and two draws apiece.
SCOUTING THE BEARS
MU finished their opening weekend of conference play undefeated behind two Jordyn Ebert clean sheets. The graduate student keeper made eight saves in the two contests and even registered an assist in Friday's match with Western Carolina. First half goals by Ally Fordham, Kendall Cook and Nicole Icen firmly separated Mercer from the Catamounts in their tilt. Two days later against ETSU, Ebert saved four shots to lead the Bears in a scoreless draw in Johnson City, Tennessee.
SCOUTING THE BULLDOGS
Samford will enter Betts Stadium at 2-0 in SoCon play, having defeated VMI and UNCG by identical 3-0 scorelines. This past weekend, Jillian Hall only needed to make three saves in seeing through the wins. Alyssa Frazier leads the Samford attack with three goals and three assists to her name.
SCOUTING THE MOCS
Chattanooga will visit on Sunday following a Friday morning match at The Citadel before coming to Betts Stadium. Like Mercer, they completed the inaugural weekend of SoCon play with a win and a draw in their first two contests. Samantha Shaw leads the Mocs with four goals and an assist.
