Asheville, N.C.- We're only #1 day away from the first official day of men's soccer. The Bulldogs will officially open their 2016 season on Friday, August 26 in Durham against Elon University. To assist in preparing fans for the first kickoff, meet #1 Chris Katt.

 

A transfer from Georgia Southern, Katt is a local talent who brings an impressive resume from Tuscola High School. He was a three-time All-Region honoree, earning Conference Goalkeeper of the Year Honors as a junior and senior, as well as Team MVP honors as a junior and a senior. Katt joins the Bulldogs in 2016 as one of three goalkeepers.
