Chattanooga FC Women will travel for their second away game of the year to Georgia Impact, Friday, June 21 at 6:00 p.m. ET in Canton, Georgia, in a battle for a top-five spot halfway into the Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) season.
CFC Women has a game in hand on Georgia Impact, and have only played four games in comparison to most of the league’s six. A win for the Sky Blues would keep them from falling into the bottom half of the table, and inch them closer to the solo playoff spot in one of the more competitive conferences in the WPSL.
While both teams were in the WPSL last season, they were in different conferences. This will be the first-ever meeting between the teams.
The Sky Blues have a quick turnaround before a final regular season home game at Finley Stadium on Sunday, June 23rd at 6:00 p.m. ET. Tickets are on sale now.
Coach's Corner
Head Coach Tom Halsall previwed the matchup with Georgia Impact.
"We're looking for a big response," said Halsall. "In these times we get to learn a lot about the character of the players that we have, and we get to see what they're made of. Are we going to sink? Are we going to swim and persevere and fight and prove all the doubters wrong? It's a chance for us to kick on and build some momentum going in to the final four games. We've trained really well this week and, again, the attitude from the players has been 1000%, so we're hoping to get at least a positive performance and an even better result with that. If we do that it help us to build towards a successful end to the season."
