ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville Bulldogs take on the North Carolina Tar Heels in men's soccer at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 11 Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Â
NOTABLES:
Last Time Out: The Bulldogs dropped their first Big South Conference game, falling to Campbell 2-1. Asheville fell behind early, allowing two Camel goals in the first half. The Bulldogs battled in the second half with Zack Compton scoring a goal in the 52' but could not find a way to put another one in the net.
Â
Scouting North Carolina: The No. 4 ranked North Carolina Tar Heels will look to continue their winning ways. North Carolina has been dominant at Fetzer Field the season boasting a 6-2 home field record. However, the Tar Heels dropped their first ACC match this past Friday when Virginia defeated them 2-1 at home. Despite outshooting Virginia 22-5 and taking a first half lead, the Cavaliers responded with two second half goals to earn the three points.
Â
Responding From Defeat: The Bulldogs were undefeated in the Big South Conference until Friday's loss at Campbell. However Asheville played a great second half, cutting into the deficit. Asheville will need to build off this momentum and carry it over into Tuesday's match.

QUOTABLES:Â
"We're excited to play North Carolina, one of the best programs in the country both historically and this year. This will be a great opportunity for us to go and compete against the best. They are a very talented team so we will have to be really sharp in all of the phases of our game. We are looking forward to the challenge of playing a high ranked ACC team at home. It will be a great opportunity for us to find out exactly where we are against one of the best teams in the country." - Head Coach Mathes Mennell
