CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) - Moses Johnson scored 12 points and grabbed nine rebounds to help No. 25 Chattanooga to a 60-49 win over Butler on Sunday.

Chattanooga broke away in the fourth quarter with a 14-7 run that included a 3-pointer from Chelsey Shumpert and was capped by a pair of free throws from Keiana Gilbert to make it 58-48 with 1:13 to play. The Lady Mocs protected the double-digit lead the rest of the way.
