ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville men's soccer team will travel to Spartanburg to take on USC Upstate in the last road trip of the year at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday.
The Bulldogs are most recently coming off a makeup game against non-conference foe Furman last Wednesday, falling 2-1 after a late goal in the 83rd minute by the Paladins. Sophomore Silas Goss recorded his first career goal as a Bulldog in the 69th which put Asheville up for only a couple of minutes, before the Paladins quickly followed with an equalizer. The Bulldogs both outshot Furman and registered five more corner kick opportunities, while Leon Musial recorded two saves.
