For his strong 66 minutes on the pitch in the match, senior forward Jackson Allen was chosen as #ThePursuit Man of the Match by Mathes Mennell and the UNC Asheville men's soccer coaching staff.

Quotable
"A tough result tonight. The margin for error in college soccer is small, especially against a team as clinical in the attack as Radford. The effort and fight were good, but we just painted ourselves into a corner early on in the match. However, we know the Big South race is going to have lots of twists and turns. We have to expect to take advantage of our opportunities moving forward." - Head Coach Mathes Mennell

Up Next
The Bulldogs will next continue Big South Conference play by traveling just up the road to Boiling Springs, N.C. to take on the Runnin' Bulldogs of Gardner-Webb at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 4.
