MATCH NOTES

Having scored just two goals all season, Chattanooga's offensive struggles have led to the club being the victim of three shutouts, with both goals coming in the club's 2-1 victory over One Knoxville SC.

Taking on USL Championship squad Birmingham Legion in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, Chattanooga was defeating 4-1, bowing out in the second round. Last season the club was also taken out in the second round by a USL Championship squad (Louisville City FC).

Eight of the 12 USL League One teams are currently sitting at 4 or 5 points.

Lexington SC has seen four players-Don Smart, Nico Brown, Owen Green and Khalid Balogun-score goals in league play.

Last weekend's 2-0 loss to Greenville Triumph SC marked the second time this season Lexington was held without a goal. Despite being down to 10 men for much of the match, Lexington dominated possession (62% to 38%).
