ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville women's basketball team will return home to Kimmel Arena on Thursday to host Austin Peay. Tip-off between the Governors and Bulldogs is set for 5 p.m., and the game can be seen on ESPN+ and locally on CW62.
Last Time Out – Asheville dropped a 107-46 decision on the road at North Carolina on Sunday. The loss pushes the Bulldogs' record to 5-4 on the 2021-22 season.
Nadiria nears fifth place on the scoring list – With 43 points scored last week, Nadiria Evans moved into sixth place on UNC Asheville's all-time scoring list with 1,445 points. Evans needs just four more points to surpass former Bulldog great Wendy Beecher (1986-90) for fifth place. Furthermore, if or when Evans passes Beecher, she'll rank second on the program's Division I scoring list (since the 1986-87 season) behind only Vicki Giffin's (1,703 points).
Boards and Bulldogs – Heading into Thursday's game vs. Austin Peay, the Bulldogs lead all Big South teams averaging 40.1 rebounds per contest. In perspective, Asheville averaged 35.4 rebounds per game a season ago. Leading the charge on the boards has been Evans, averaging 6.8 rebounds per contest. Kai Carter (5.3) and Amanda Blake (4.1) are not too far off the pace as well.

Overall, the Bulldogs have played just 17 games (9-8 record) against the current members of the OVC, with the last occurring in the 2018-19 season versus Tennessee Tech. Thursday's game between Asheville and Austin Peay will mark the first-ever meeting between the two schools.
