WBB vs UNC Ashville 6PM Nov 13 on ACCNx

The 1-1 Ladies host 0-1 UNC Ashville at 6 PM tonight in Cassell Coliseum. The game will be on ACCNx.

This will be the fourth meeting between the Hokes and the Bulldogs. Hokies are 3-0 in the series. The Hokies won the last matchup inside Cassell Coliseum 86-48 back on Dec. 11, 2022. Ashville was 11-20 overall in 4-12 in the Big South conference last year.

Ashville is a mature team. Their starting five includes 3 fifth year players, a senior and a sophomore. All the starters are returnees from last year. There are eight new players on the roster; only two are freshman. The Hokies will have an overall height advantage; but the Bulldogs will have the tallest player on the court most of the time in 6'3" #5 Nycera Minnis.

The Bulldogs have played one game this year losing at Mercer 75-52. I guess I could just post the box score; but they have season stats on their website. So, here they are:

Ashville does not appear to be a threat to the Hokies. Mercer won the rebound battle by 12; Ashville had 6 assists and 16 turnovers. Their high scorer had 9 points.

This should be back to the expected early season type of match-up that gives CMD a chance to evaluate the whole team and try various combinations on the court.

ESPN says the Hokies have a 99% chance of winning this game.

LET'S GO HOKIES!
