ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville men's soccer squad will host Radford Wednesday, November 2 at 7:00 p.m. at Greenwood Field for Senior Day.

QUOTABLES
"Anytime you have a chance to play for the No. 1 seed and a Big South Regular Season title, it's a fantastic opportunity. The fact that the game is at home and on Senior Night, is one of the reasons college athletics is such a special endeavor. Radford is a very good team, with great individual talent, and are extremely well coached. They will be a great challenge for our group in a variety of ways. I am very pleased with how we have performed in our Big South games and I expect that Wednesday night will be standard Big South fare: highly competitive, highly entertaining, and fan friendly college soccer. We have the ability to secure a first round bye in the Big South tournament and play our games here on Greenwood. This is a situation that we are excited to be in and are looking very much forward to the match."—Head Coach Matt Mennell
UP NEXT:
Following play Wednesday the Bulldogs will begin the Big South Conference Tournament. Asheville will host the first round of the tournament with the date, time, and opponent to be determined.
