07.09.2026 | General, Athletics News

ASHEVILLE, N.C. – UNC Asheville Athletics and long-time sponsor The Matt & Molly Team at Keller Williams are proud to announce a renewal and expansion of their comprehensive partnership that dates back more than a decade.
 
The multi-year extension, executed by UNC Asheville Sports Properties, sees The Matt & Molly Team at Keller Williams continue as the Official Realtor of UNC Asheville Athletics, while the leading Asheville real estate agency now becomes the presenting sponsor of the Bulldogs' quarterly Athletic Director Luncheon.
 
"The Matt & Molly team continues to elevate not only the greater Asheville community but also UNC Asheville through their positive impact as corporate partners, donors, and leaders," said Janet R. Cone, Director of Athletics.  We appreciate their passion and amazing support of our student-athletes, coaches, and staff."
 
As part of the renewed collaboration with UNC Asheville Athletics, The Matt & Molly Team now serves as the courtside hospitality sponsor inside Kimmel Arena, receives additional new in-venue signage inside the Justice Center, Greenwood Field and Karl Strauss Track, and will develop custom co-branded social media content with the Bulldogs.
 
"This partnership means a lot to The Matt & Molly Team because of how much we care about our community. UNC Asheville is the heart of that community. It's also a big personal win for me too! I feel like my leadership really began as a Bulldog athlete and so now, getting to give back in this way, feels really full circle," said co-owner Molly de Mattos. "Much of what The Matt & Molly Team represents: integrity, communication, understanding and care, was developed in me right here in the UNC Asheville athletic department."
 
The Matt & Molly Team also continues to provide support as the hospitality sponsor of the Mountain View Room, as well as receiving prominent brand visibility through premium TV-visible digital signage inside Kimmel Arena and targeted digital advertising with Bulldog fans.
 
"The Matt & Molly Team have been a terrific partner for us over the years, and we're thrilled to see them elevate their support of UNC Asheville Athletics for the next chapter of our thriving partnership," said Dan Dial, General Manager of UNC Asheville Sports Properties. "They are dedicated to enhancing our student-athlete experience, our fan experience, and our community, and we look forward to elevating UNC Asheville Athletics together for many years to come."
 
UNC Asheville Sports Properties, the locally based team of Learfield – the leading media and technology company powering college athletics – is the exclusive multimedia rights holder for UNC Asheville Athletics and oversees all sponsorship agreements on behalf of the Bulldogs.
