About UNC Asheville
The Bulldogs enter the final home game of the season with a 6-9-1 overall record and 2-5 Big South Conference mark.
Senior midfielder Courtney Naber scored the lone goal for the Bulldogs in their last match, which was her seventh goal of the season. The seventh goal of the year ranks the Loveland, Ohio native in the top 15 in UNC Asheville's all-time history in a single season. In her career, she has 17 goals and eight game-winning goals, which is one of the best in program history.
Erika Snyder and Skyler Chillson found their way on the scoresheet at Radford as they were both awarded an assist on Naber's goal in the 66th minute, and it was the first-ever assist for either Bulldog. Chillson has the third-most points on the team with seven, and Snyder has three points after she netted her first collegiate goal versus Presbyterian.
UNC Asheville will recognize seven seniors on Saturday – Emma Houser, Caroline Houser, Zoe Lewis, Naber, Brooke Miller, Katie Tuorto and Gretchen Dettlinger. Between the seven Bulldogs, they have played in 391 games, totaled 26,877 minutes, scored 50 goals, tallied 42 assists and netted 15 game-winning goals.
