The Blue & White had a tough week last week playing two very good teams. Asheville lost at MEAC favorite North Carolina A&T on Tuesday, 64-47 before losing at South Florida on Saturday.
Sophomore guard Tianna Knuckles leads Asheville in scoring with a 9.7 mark. Paige Love is next with an 8.3 mark. KJ Weaver tops the club in rebounding with a 6.0 average.
