The Chattanooga FC Women edged the UFA Gunners 1-0 thanks to a second-half goal from midfielder Mae Hunt at Great Dane Stadium at Denmark High School in Alpharetta, Georgia on Friday night.
The match saw the return of midfield star Kennedy Ball, who made an impact from the outset in Alpharetta and had a shot on target within 12 minutes. Chattanooga continued dictating play and Kasie Vigil, in a more advanced role than in previous matches, had a shot saved as well.
The biggest chance in the first half came in the 33rd minute when defender Kei Yoneda struck the post from a free-kick. Ultimately the teams went into the break goalless.
The breakthrough came in the 70th minute when defender Billie Jean Davies found Ball with a long pass and Ball brought it down to tee up a shot from Reese Mc
