Jennifer Golden's final at-bat at Patriots Point was a two-run walk-off homer ? her 16^th of the season and 28^th of her two-year career ? to give the College of Charleston a 8-6 eight-inning win over Chattanooga in the Southern Conference series finale before 133 on Sunday in Mt. Pleasant.

The No. 2 Cougars (33-24, 14-7 SoCon) will play No. 7 seeded Furman in the SoCon Tournament on Wednesday at 10 a.m. in Greensboro, N.C. The Lady Mocs (35-29, 16-5) will play No. 8 UNC Greensboro at 5 p.m.

Katie Sansouci (11-6) went 2/3 inning to get the win for the Cougars, allowing no hits or runs. Shannon Howard scattered 10 hits, yielded six runs ? four earned, issued three walks and struck out two in 7 1/3 innings of work.

Chattanooga attacked first with a three-run first inning, before the College of Charleston took a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the first on a pair of Chattanooga miscues.

The Lady Mocs would another run in the top of the second on Toni Hutchinson's RBI-sac fly to score Cuttichia. Chattanooga would score its final two runs in the top of the sixth on Tia Blosser's two-RBI double to score Cuttichia and Cochran for the 6-4 lead.

Charleston knotted the game on Kolby Schooley's two-RBI single to plate Katie Pesature and Howard in the bottom of the seventh.

Ashley Frizzell (12-14) gave up 12 hits and eight runs ? seven earned ? in 7 1/3 innings of work. She walked four and struck out five.

Cuttichia paced the Lady Mocs on 3-for-5 hitting with three runs scored. Cochran and Blosser had two hits apiece, and Brittany Eason, Lindsay Davis and Ashlan Clarkson each had a hit.
