BULLDOG BITES
About UNC Asheville
The Bulldogs return home with a 0-4 record after dropping a mid-week game at Davidson. UNC Asheville dropped the non-conference showdown by eight points (58-50) despite scoring 21 points in the fourth quarter. For the fourth game in a row, senior guard Khaila Webb led the team in points scored with 12 while she also grabbed six boards. Senior center Bronaza Fitzgerald, who made her second start of the season, paced the squad with a team-leading seven rebounds as she recorded 10 points, which was the first game this year she posted double-digits in points. Freshman guard Nadiria Evans led the freshmen trio as she knocked down a career high in points (8).
Webb still leads the squad after four games in points per game (ppg) with 12.3. Junior Jessica Wall and senior Bronaza Fitzgerald have averaged over eight points per contest as Wall averages 8.5 and Fitzgerald with 8.3 ppg. Fitzgerald is second on the team in rebounds per game as she is tied with Juliet Esadah with five boards. Webb also leads the team as she averages 5.3 rebounds per game.
At the Big South Conference Media Day, the Bulldogs were selected to finish fifth, despite receiving the second-highest amount of first-place votes in the league. Radford earned seven of the total first-place votes as the Highlanders were selected the win the league.
UNC Asheville opens its conference portion of the schedule on Jan. 2 at Campbell followed by the conference home opener on Jan. 6 at 2 p.m. versus High Point.
Scouting Middle Tennessee
Middle Tennessee, who is receiving votes in multiple mid-major polls, enters the weekend showdown with an undefeated record (3-0). The Blue Raiders started their season red-hot as they upended Vanderbilt by 11 points in Nashville, Tenn. (65-54). In the home opener, MTSU defeated Tennessee Tech 58-44, and five days later, the Blue Raiders downed Lipscomb 72-48. MTSU travels to Asheville with a week of rest under its belt.
Rebecca Reuter is leading the Middle Tennessee team as she averages 15.3 points per game. She has started in two games and played 72 minutes. She has made 15 field goals, which is almost more than double of any other teammate. Three Blue Raiders average eight points or higher per game with Jadona Davis, Jess Louro and Abbey Sissom each post at least eight points. Gabby Lyon paces the team in rebounds per contest as she averages 6.7, and Reuter is right behind her with 5.7 rebounds per game.
Quotable
"We are excited about another opportunity against an opponent that is receiving top 25 votes. Our kids understand these challenges are going to prepare us for conference play. I am very impressed with the discipline of MTSU as well as its strong post play. They are well coached, organized and always play hard. It will be a great test for our team and one that we will need to be prepared for to compete. We have gotten better the last two days in practice and are learning each other day-by-day. With newcomers in the lineup and veteran players returning from injury, our chemistry from moment to moment hasn't always been fluid. We are improving in that area day-to-day."
- Head Coach Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick
