#ThePursuit Man of the Match
UNC Asheville senior defender Hayden Poell was chosen as #ThePursuit Man of the Match by Mathes Mennell and the coaching staff.
Quotable
"There is a lot of soccer left and the Big South is a conference where there are no easy games. We have to be sharper in pivotal moments and not put ourselves in spots where we have to continually chase the game. The hardest part is that our team approach and mentality are really quite good. We have to keep grinding and doing the right things in the right way." – Head Coach Mathes Mennell
Up Next
UNC Asheville will next welcome Liberty to Greenwood Field for a 7 p.m. Big South Conference matchup on Saturday, Oct. 7.
