CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- Season tickets for the 2009-10 season of Lady Mocs basketball are now on sale at the McKenzie Arena.

This year promises to be an exciting season with the return of reigning SoCon Player of the Year Shanara Hollinquest and all-conference and all-tournament athlete Jenaya Wade-Fray. Tagan Hatchett's six treys in UTC's win over Appalachian State electrified the Roundhouse crowd at the SoCon tournament last year.

Be a part of the crowd as the Lady Mocs tip off the season Thursday, Nov. 19 against the University of Georgia in the Roundhouse. The Bulldogs return four starters including Trenton, Ga., native Ashley Houts whose sister Emily (2006-07) played guard for the Lady Mocs .

Looking for something the whole family can do Thanksgiving weekend? Bring them to McKenzie and watch the Lady Mocs take on opponents such as Kennesaw State, Evansville and Villanova in the third annual Lady Mocs Thanksgiving Classic.

The fun doesn't stop there. In December the Lady Mocs and Head Coach Wes Moore begin their defense of 10 consecutive regular season titles hosting Furman (12/5) and Wofford (12/9). Stick around for UTC's Dec. 12 matchup against ACC foe Clemson University.

Following a grueling series of road games over the Christmas holiday, the Lady Mocs return home to face the league in earnest hosting the ever-challenging College of Charleston in the first game of the new year on Jan. 2 followed by a matchup with Georgia Southern (1/4).

Western Carolina's new coach will make her first appearance in the Roundhouse on Jan. 16 and the Lady Mocs will close out the month hosting Elon on Jan. 30. UNC Greensboro kicks off the run through February in Chattanooga on Feb. 1 and at the midpoint of the month, the Lady Mocs will face Appalachian State (2/13) and Davidson (2/15) in back-to-back home games.

Samford wraps up the season on Feb. 27 as the Lady Mocs bid farewell to seniors Hatchett, Hollinquest, Wade-Fray and Megan Rollins in the regular season finale.

On the perimeter Kori Penland will look to make her mark on the record books with her sharpshooting abilities and Tenisha Townsend, with her quick speed, will look to light up the crowd. Bailey Dewart versatility will make her a threat to smaller guards and slower forwards.

Moore strengthened his arsenal with top talent from the Tennessee area that include highly decorated and talented athletes such as Erin Helton, Kylie Lambert and Kayla Christopher. Cleveland's Michelle Davis and Rome's Kiara Smith will get to show off their talents this season after sitting out last year.
