The Bulldogs finished with a 21-12 overall record last year en route to their first ever Big South Conference championship and trip to the NCAA Tournament.
“Defending a championship is a new role for this program,” commented Blose. “We know it's going to be a challenge but we're looking forward to that challenge.”
UNC Asheville graduated five seniors and three starters from last year's championship club. The Bulldogs will be young this season as seven of their 11 players on the roster are either freshmen or sophomores.
“We're very talented but extremely young and inexperienced,” declared Blose. “I'm excited about our young players but they have a lot to learn.”
Blose also needs her team to stay healthy.
“One of the big keys this year is we have to stay healthy,” added Blose. “We have 11 players so staying away from injuries is going to be so important.”
UNC Asheville plays its first exhibition game against Mars Hill on Nov. 1 at Justice Center starting at 6 p.m. The Bulldogs open the 2007-08 season at home against Montreat on Nov. 12.
