12.01.2011 | Women's Basketball
ASHEVILLE, N.C. - UNC Asheville junior forward Kelli Riles set a Big South Conference record Wednesday night when she grabbed a league-record 28 rebounds during the Bulldogs 73-66 loss to USC Upstate.
The 28 rebounds was the second most in school history as only Sheila Ford's 32 rebounds against Gardner-Webb during the 1983-84 season is higher than Riles effort.
Wednesday's game marked the second time Riles had collected more than 20 rebounds this season. She collected 24 in Asheville's opening game vs. Winston-Salem State.
Riles leads the Bulldogs and the Big South Conference in rebounding with a 13.2 average.
Asheville plays next on Dec. 10 when the Bulldogs host the Asheville Collegiate Invitational at Kimmel Arena. Wofford will face Radford at 2 p.m., followed by Asheville battling Appalachian State at 4:30 p.m.
