11.01.2019 | Men's Soccer
FARMVILLE, Va. – UNC Asheville's men's soccer team will wrap up the road portion of its Big South Conference schedule when it takes on Longwood in a 7 p.m., Saturday, contest at the Longwood Athletics Complex.
The Bulldogs (3-11-1, 2-4 Big South) fell on the road to Xavier, 4-0, Tuesday evening in the final nonconference test of the season. The Bulldogs are 2-1 on the road in league play this season, with those two victories –against USC Upstate and Winthrop – representing their two shutout victories of the year.
Last season's matchup saw the Lancers leave Greenwood Field with a 4-2 victory.

Offensive Attack
Ten different Bulldogs have scored at least one goal so far this season, with junior Tyson Hichman leading the way with four. His goal in the home opener against VMI proved to be the game-winner.
Sophomore Nate Evans had a strong start to league play, scoring the game winner in each of the first two Saturday road conference matches. His goal against USC Upstate proved to be the only one of the match, and he scored the first of three for the Bulldogs against Winthrop, October 5.
As a team, the Bulldogs scored three goals at home against High Point, October 2, in a 4-3 defeat before taking down Winthrop, 3-0. It was the first time since 2010 the Bulldogs had scored three goals in consecutive games.
In addition to Hichman and Evans, Izaiah Vignali, Kyle Adams, Colin Daughtry, Frank Morales, Andrew Rossetti, Noe Varner, Tanner Gilliam and Dino Dziergas have each recorded a goal for the Bulldogs, while Adams leads the team with three assists.
Scouting the Lancers
Longwood is 5-9 on the season, but has yet to secure a victory in Big South play, going 0-6 so far. The Lancers are coming off an 8-0 defeat at the hands of league-leader Campbell on the road, Monday.
Mikel Abando leads Longwood with eight goals on the season, while Ander Extaniz has come up with five goals and is tied for the team lead with two assists.
Jacob Reimers has started all of Longwood's matches in goal, recording 51 saves while allowing 23 goals for a .689 save percentage.
