BULLDOG BITES
About UNC Asheville
The Bulldogs travel to High Point with a 16-12 overall record and an 11-6 mark in Big South games. Asheville is just one Big South victory away from earning its third 12-plus win season in the league in program history.
With its 62-45 win over the Buccaneers on Saturday, UNC Asheville has been guaranteed a bye in the Big South Tournament. The Bulldogs will play their first game in the quarterfinal round of the Big South Tournament at either No. 1 Radford or No. 2 High Point.
In the 17-point win over CSU on Saturday, UNC Asheville honored five graduating Bulldogs – Alexis Toney, Jessica Wall, Kelli Fisher, Tiffany Wilson and Ali Trani. Among the five players, they are UNC Asheville's DI all-time winningest class with 77 total wins. The senior class has also won two Big South Tournaments, a Big South Regular Season title and has appeared in three straight postseason tournaments.
In the game against the Buccaneers, UNC Asheville used a fast start to open the victory. The Bulldogs opened the game holding the Buccaneers to just four points, while Asheville tallied 17 points in the opening 10 minutes. In the home finale, three Bulldogs posted double-digit performances. Sophomore Nadiria Evans led all scorers with 16 points in 19 minutes of action, and she went an impressive 6-for-8 from the field. Sonora Dengokl added 12 points in her first start back since returning from injury. The guard shot 50 percent from the field. Wall was the final Bulldogs in double digits, as the senior connected on three 3-pointers. Brooke Jordan-Brown was a force on the boards, as the junior posted a career-best 15 rebounds in 20 minutes of action.
