ORANGEBURG, S.C.-UNC Asheville completed a 3-1 weekend by defeating Providence and falling to Wofford Saturday afternoon at the South Carolina State Spikefest Tournament. Lauren Ficker earned All-Tournament team honors while Raquel Miotto garnered top libero honors.

The Bulldogs (11-5) defeated Providence in four sets to begin the day and then fell to Wofford (11-2) 25-16, 25-13, 30-28. Miotto had her second 30-dig match of the season as she had 30 digs against the Terriers. Ficker led the Dogs offensively with eight kills while Cindi Miller and Jenna Dover each had seven kills.

"I am pleased with the way we played this weekend," said head coach Julie Torbett. "We continue to play hard while players are overcoming injuries. We are not at the top of our game yet but we are playing well and gaining confidence."
