Sophomore Quinn Johnson has been named to the Southern Conference Coaches Preseason All-Conference Team. She was recognized as the SoCon Freshman of the Year in 2025 and contributed significantly to her team with 12 points from five goals and two assists. Johnson also earned the league Player of the Week honor following standout performances, and she was included in both the All-Conference Second Team and All-Freshman Team. Chattanooga's women's soccer team is currently projected to finish fifth in the conference behind Western Carolina and ahead of Mercer. The Mocs will kick off their season at home against UT Martin on August 12, with free admission for all fans.

By the Numbers
  • Johnson scored 12 points in 2025, including 5 goals and 2 assists.
  • Chattanooga was selected fifth in the preseason poll with 67 points, just one point behind Western Carolina.
Yes, But

Despite the positive accolades for Johnson and the team's solid performances last season, they still need to overcome the slight gap in points compared to Western Carolina and Mercer to compete for a higher ranking this year.

State of Play
  • Chattanooga finished fourth overall last season behind Samford, Western Carolina, and ETSU.
  • The Mocs will face a crucial matchup against UT Martin to start the season, with the aim of improving their conference standing.
What's Next

The Mocs aim to leverage the momentum from Johnson's recognition and their previous season's performance to secure a strong start against UT Martin, potentially setting the tone for their conference play.

Bottom Line

Quinn Johnson's preseason honors highlight her potential, but the Mocs must focus on overcoming their close margin in preseason rankings to establish themselves as serious contenders in the Southern Conference.
