Â
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - UNC Asheville redshirt freshman Drew Turner has been named the Big South Conference Starting Pitcher of the Week, announced by the league today (Monday, Mar. 2).

Asheville went 3-1 over the weekend in Jackson State's round robin event, including Turner's start which was a 7-1 win over host Jackson State. Turner (2-1) earned the win for the Bulldogs on the mound, firing six innings scattering four hits allowing just one run with a program record 14 strikeouts and just three walks.
