About UNC Asheville
The six-member team from last year returns all six Bulldogs for their sophomore seasons – Kellen Alsip, Becca Black, Linna Brooks, Adelyn Deery, Erica Olberding and Janie Thomas. Head coach Breanne Hall signed two newcomers for the sophomore season of the program – Taylor Hinson (freshman) and Lydia Randell (junior, St. Andrews University transfer).
The NKU Fall Classic is the first of four fall tournaments this year for Asheville. The Bulldogs will compete in the Pirate Collegiate Classic, F&M Bank APSU Intercollegiate and Winthrop Intercollegiate for the fall portion of their schedule.
The Bulldogs return a key golfer in Black who led the squad last year in scoring average (79.04). She placed in the top 25 individually in five events including placing tied for 8th at the Low Country Intercollegiate in March.
As a team, UNC Asheville looks to keep improving after winning its first tournament last year at the Oyster Shuck Match Play. The team posted its best three-round score (926) at the Big South Women's Golf Championships, where the Bulldogs finished seventh at the Patriot Golf Club in Ninety Six, S.C.

The 2017 NKU Fall Classic is a two-day tournament and will be held at the Elks Run Golf Club in Batavia, Ohio. The par-71 course is a 6,053-yard club.

The lineup for Asheville is Hinson, Alsip, Deery, Black and Thomas, while Olberding will play as an individual for the Bulldogs.

Quotable
"I am looking forward to getting our season underway. We had a good couple weeks of practice and are ready to get out and compete. At practice we have talked a lot about better target selection on our approach shots into the greens. If we make a mistake, we don't need to press and try and make up for it on the next hole. We need to stay patient and make good course management decisions."
