BUIES CREEK, N.C. – UNC Asheville men's soccer will play its final road game of the regular season at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27 at Campbell.
BULLDOG BITES
Coming Off a Win Over VMI
UNC Asheville (2-11-2, 0-6-0 Big South) travels to Buies Creek coming off a 1-0 win over VMI at Greenwood Field. UNC Asheville secured the win behind a goal in the 10th minute from Austin Howard on Saturday, Oct. 20.
The lone goal in the match came when a streaking Izaiah Vignali found an opening on the left side to send in a beautiful ball into the box that found the head of Austin Howard, who then deftly headed the ball into the back of the net.
Nine Different Bulldogs Have Scored
In total after Austin Howard's game-winning goal in the VMI victory, nine different Bulldogs have now scored this season with Lane Carroll and Taylor Durall scoring three each, Izaiah Vignali scoring twice and Luiz Felipe Dantas, Colin Daughtry, Brendan O'Dowd, Nate Evans, Joe LaCasto and Austin Howard each scoring once for UNC Asheville this season.

Quotable
"We are looking forward to the match in Buies Creek," UNC Asheville men's soccer head coach Mathes Mennell said. "The Camels are a very interesting opponent to prepare for as they cause their opponents a ton of problems. Coach Fonder and his staff have them rounding into form at exactly the right time. Campbell are dynamic in attack and have some players who have great quality and are very goal-dangerous.
"We have been pretty good the last two games and have played a fairly young group in doing so. Obviously, we have the bittersweet role of spoiler in terms of the Big South and Campbell is in the mix for any of the top four spots in the Big South standings. That being said, I'm extremely excited for the group to be able to play against a quality opponent on the road where the stakes are quite high."
Up Next
UNC Asheville men's soccer will next close out its regular season with a Halloween "Battle of the Bulldogs" showdown with Gardner-Webb at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 31. The match will serve as Senior Night for the Bulldogs.
