QUOTABLES
“It is good to have this tournament off campus right before conference games start. Playing on the road is good preparation for conference play, where we have to go into someone else's house and compete. VMI and Chattanooga have new coaches, which brings a new commitment and energy to each program. This weekend is another good opportunity for us to come together and work toward our overall process.” - Head Coach Michelle Demko
UP NEXT
-Following this weekend's tournament, the Bulldogs return home to take on USC Upstate on September 19, when they welcome back all Asheville Women's Soccer alumni.
