Pennsylvania 74, Chattanooga 61

Chattanooga women's basketball dropped the team's opening round matchup of the 2024 FGCU Homewood Suites Tournament on Friday, with UTC falling 74-61 to Penn University in Alico Arena. Foul trouble proved too much to overcome for the Mocs, as the Quakers were able to win the game from the charity stripe by knocking down 21 of their 27 free throw attempts on their way to the win. Not even a career-high 17 points from Takia Davis could help the Mocs pull out the result in the end.
