Joining Solomon and Thomas with game-high rebounding (six), were Jakel Powell and Sage Tolentino.
The Bulldogs exploded for 57 first-half points, shooting 62% from the field and forcing 12 turnovers to build a commanding lead they would never relinquish. Asheville finished the night with 22 assists, 13 steals, and 32 points off turnovers, overwhelming Bryan on both ends of the floor.
The Bulldogs' defensive pressure created separation early. Asheville forced 23 turnovers, converting them into 32 points and the Bulldogs dominated the glass with a 39–24 rebounding edge, including 16 offensive boards.
Asheville opened the night on a 9–0 run and kept attacking, using a series of steals and transition baskets to build a double-digit lead before the first media timeout. By halftime, the Bulldogs led 57–14.
The Bulldogs continued to control the pace after the break, as Asheville went on to earn its largest lead of the game at 52 points with 12:33 remaining (75-23). The Lions more than doubled their first half scoring in the second frame, but it was not enough to catch up to the Bulldogs. Asheville finished 31-of-65 from the field and 11-of-32 from three.
Up next, Asheville heads to Cullowhee, N.C., for the Mountain Rivalry between the Bulldogs and Western Carolina on Wednesday, Nov. 19. The men's team will play at 7:30 p.m. with the women tipping off prior to the men's game at 5 p.m.
