BULLDOG BITES
Still Perfect at Home
UNC Asheville is now 3-0 on the spring season at home with wins over Mars Hill, USC Upstate and Lenoir-Rhyne.
Quotable
"We needed that. That's what I want to see. For example, when Kylee Shipley was up 5-2 (in second set) and her opponent came back to 5-4, she dug into it and came back with the win. It's okay that she lost the two games. She did not panic and she was mentally and emotionally tough. It was good to see." – Head Coach Lise Gregory
Up Next
UNC Asheville will next continue its homestand by playing host to two matches this upcoming weekend. The Bulldogs will first host North Carolina Central at 2 p.m. on Feb. 24 before ending the weekend by playing host to UNCG at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 25.
