BULLDOG BITES
LAST TIME OUT: Last Monday Asheville fell, 4-3, at the hands of the Wofford Terriers. Henry Patten continued his stellar start to the season, improving to 9-0 in singles play in which he has yet to drop a single set. Alongside Josh Swindler, the No. 1 doubles pairing is 8-1 on the season.
Â
SCOUTING CHARLOTTE: After winning their first five matches of the season the 49ers have dropped six straight. Coincidentally, Charlotte handed Campbell their only loss of the season, 4-1, in what was the season opener for the 49ers.
Â
SCOUTING CAMPBELL: The Camels have had a very successful month of February, riding an eight match win streak. Campbell is one of the few teams in the Big South who boast an undefeated singles player. In fact they have four unbeaten players in Gerard Sola at 9-0, Fernando Clemente at 6-0, Nicolas Rakitin at 4-0, and Lorenz Schwab at 4-0. The combination of Sola and Jonathan O'Neal are also 8-0 in doubles play.
UP NEXT: Following this weekend's action, the Bulldogs will return home to host West Liberty University at the Asheville Racquet Club on Friday, March 10. Start time is scheduled for 2 p.m.

"This is a busy week for us culminating in a tough match against a very good Charlotte team followed by a Big South showdown with league favorite, Campbell. We cannot afford to bring anything but our best to both of these challenges." -- Head Coach Tom Hand
