The Chattanooga Football Club didn't score until the 69th minute but after Chris Ochieng's first goal, they would score two more to earn a 3-0 win over visiting Indiana Fire.  

The NPSL national semifinal win, before more than 9,200 fans, gives Chattanooga another shot at a national championship after losing to the New York Red Bulls U23 team in the 2014 final.  

Chattanooga will likely be making another trip to New York for their championship match.  The New York Cosmos B beat CD Aguiluchos USA 5-2 in the other national semifinal and has the right to host. 

The New York Cosmos B is a reserve team of the New York Cosmos. 

Ochieng had back to back goals in the 69th minute and the 77th minute.   

Luis Trude scored the final goal.  

The time and venue for next week's national championship game is yet to be determined.
