ASHEVILLE, N.C. – Fresh off back-to-back victories, the UNC Asheville women's basketball team will travel to historic Carmichael Arena to take on North Carolina on Sunday afternoon. Tip-off between the Bulldogs and Tar Heels is set for 2 p.m., and the game can be seen on ACC Network Extra.
Last Time Out – The Bulldogs notched their fifth win of the season on Friday as they downed East Tennessee State on the road, 66-56. Asheville is now 5-3 on the 2021-22 campaign with the victory.
Evans' Scoring Effort – A key in Asheville's win over ETSU was the play of its fifth-year senior Nadiria Evans. Evans matched a season-high with 31 points to lead the charge for the Bulldogs' offense. It marked the fifth time that Evans has eclipsed the 30-point plateau in her career and the 22nd time she scored 20 or more in a game.
Nadiria Moves North on Scoring List – Evans moved into sixth place on Asheville's all-time scoring list with 1,433 points with her scoring performance Friday. She needs just 16 more points to move into fifth place, surpassing Bulldog great Wendy Beecher's 1,448 points. Furthermore, if Evans passes Beecher, she'll rank second among Bulldog scorers in the Division I era, behind only Vicki Giffin's 1,703 points.
