THE UNIVERSITY

As the only dedicated liberal arts institution in the University of North Carolina system, UNC Asheville kindles learning by offering students an intellectually rigorous education that builds critical thinking and workforce skills to last a lifetime. Small class size, award-winning faculty and a nationally acclaimed undergraduate research program foster innovation as well as recognition. The cornerstone of a liberal arts education is the ability to explore the connections between many different subjects as well as the options available. So learning here expands well beyond the classroom walls. Focusing on undergraduate studies, we help students dig into learning, whether they participate in faculty-mentored research projects, undertake career-related internships, study abroad, or join service projects aimed at improving the quality of life at home and around the world. We encourage everyone to seek challenges, seize opportunities and become a doer as well as a thinker. At UNC Asheville, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created an environment for exploring the world as well as more than 30 different majors. About 3,900 undergraduate students and about 330 full- and part-time faculty bring the campus alive with a genuine hunger to understand and contribute to the human experience. Amid the culturally rich setting of Asheville, North Carolina, in the Blue Ridge Mountains, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all designed to spark a lifelong quest to know more â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a fire that will grow brighter in the future.

The picturesque campus is home to many fun events throughout the year, including Concerts on the Quad, which happens each summer (pictured top left).

Built in 1965 with a major addition in 1990 that nearly doubled its size, Ramsey Library (above) was built in honor of D. Hiden Ramsey, a newspaper editor as well as city and state official. Today, the library holds approximately 360,000 volumes with access to more than 400,000 titles electronically.

UNC Asheville confers degrees three times during the academic year at the end of the Fall semester, at the end of the Spring semester as well as at the end of the Summer terms. Formal commencement ceremonies are held in December and May.

Petting Rocky on the path to a first class or a first job has been a rite of passage for many students and graduates and is said to bring good luck, and he was there to see the Bulldogs through one more memorable Homecoming in February.

THE BIG SOUTH CONFERENCE For more than 30 years, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The league’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by notable accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the conference’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” as part of a new strategic emphasis on becoming the premiere non-FBS conference in the Southeast. Since 2000, the Big South Conference has experienced its most pivotal accomplishments in the league’s history both athletically and academically, such as: • Baseball National Champion in 2016 • Six individual National Champions • Two Top 10 finishes in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, including fifth in 2007 • The No. 1 ranked team in the national polls in 2014 and 2015 (football) • Reached the quarterfinals of the FCS Playoffs three consecutive years in 2013, 2014 and 2015 • Reached the NCAA “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball • Qualified three teams for NCAA postseason play in the same sport for the first time in 2016 (men’s soccer, men’s golf) • Three NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament wins • Reached the NCAA Softball Regional Championship game three times • Multiple teams in the FCS playoffs three times since 2012 • Three berths in the NCAA Baseball Super Regionals • Multiple teams in the NCAA Baseball Regionals eight times • The No. 1 seed in the NCAA Baseball Regionals four times, including the national No. 4 seed in 2010 • Three Top 24 finishes in the NCAA Women’s Golf Championship since 2011 • The first-ever national finalist for NCAA Woman of the Year • First appearance in the round of 32 in the NCAA Men’s Singles Championship • First All-Americans in men’s and women’s cross country • A Big South-record 13 Academic All-Americans in 2003-04 and 2013-14 • A Big South-record 21 NCAA Public Recognition Awards for APR Success in 2016 • A Big South-record 85 percent Graduation Success Rate two consecutive years (2014 and 2015) • A Big South-record 42 All-Americans in 2011-12 On April 24, 1983, Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South and less than four months later on August 21, the Big South Conference was formed when Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop committed to the new league. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the league’s first Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted full-fledged NCAA Division I status. During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths in several national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the league received its first automatic bid -- an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, the conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television package, featuring the Big South competing against some of the finest teams in the nation.

In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the league’s third Commissioner, and in his 20 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the conference to unprecedented new heights. During his tenure, men’s and women’s indoor track & field (1997), football (2002) and women’s lacrosse (2013) were added as sponsored sports. The conference has also enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue, in addition to extensive television coverage for women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball and women’s lacrosse for the first time. The league as a whole has enjoyed increased national television exposure through aggressive and unique television packages. Conference membership has solidified with the additions of High Point, Gardner-Webb, Presbyterian College and Longwood, plus the return of charter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the conference introduced its first live streaming event in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 900 annually through a partnership with the member institutions. Ongoing equipment upgrades will allow these productions to become “TV-ready” in the near future. Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the league’s vision as a distinctive athletic conference committed to the quality of institutional life through athletic competition. An updated strategic plan was launched in 2015 with the objective to transform the Big South Conference into the premiere non-FBS conference in the Southeast. The primary areas of focus are basketball success, media exposure, academic centrality, student-athlete experience and messaging/branding. Prominent Big South athletic alumni include three-time U.S. Olympian Amber Campbell; 2016 U.S. Open Champion Dustin Johnson; former American League All-Star Ty Wiggington; Cleveland Indians pitcher Cody Allen; Oakland Athletics pitcher Ryan Dull; Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman, New York Giants running back Rashad Jennings; three-time NFL Pro Bowler Justin Bethel, WNBA veteran Avery Warley and Carolina Panthers fullback Mike Tolbert. Distinguished alumni from Big South member institutions include Charlotte Hornets President Fred Whitfield (Campbell), U.S. Senator Tim Scott (Charleston Southern), Basketball Hall of Famer Artis Gilmore (Gardner-Webb), Grammyaward winning singer/songwriter Donna Fargo (High Point), ESPN personality Samantha Ponder (Liberty), former LPGA player Tina Barrett (Longwood), HGTV President Jim Samples (Presbyterian), former U.S. National Men’s Soccer Team member Dante Washington (Radford), Weather Channel anchor Kristina Abernathy (UNC Asheville) and actress Andie MacDowell (Winthrop). The conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the conference’s 25th Anniversary. The league also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in its history from 1983-2008, with Liberty University’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the league’s first 25 years. As part of the league’s 30th anniversary celebration in 2013-14, All-Decade Teams were recognized for the first time in each sport. The conference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. For the past two years, more than 50 percent of conference’s student-athletes have been named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a 3.0 grade-point average for the academic year, including 138 4.0 students in 2015-16, and the league has had nearly 170 Academic All-Americans in its history.

UNIVERSITY CHANCELLOR

DR. MARY K. GRANT

CHANCELLOR/BIG SOUTH PRESIDENT Dr. Mary K. Grant joined UNC Asheville as the seventh chancellor in January 2015, after serving for 12 years as president of Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA). During her first two years, she established UNC Asheville as a center for creativity, innovation, and excellence in the public liberal arts, bringing the community to the table for events such as the annual farm-to-table dinner on the Quad, and expanding access to higher education while increasing enrollment in North Carolina’s public liberal arts university. Dr. Grant’s leadership in strategic institutional growth encouraged a transformation of campus for the 21st century, with construction projects underway for UNC Asheville’s first apartment-style student residences and renovations to the Highsmith Student Union, followed by renovations to two academic buildings Owen and Carmichael Halls. These projects represent $67 million in campus construction or renovations, including $21.1 million funded through Connect NC bonds, on which Dr. Grant led the efforts to secure. The university also opened STEAM Studio – an innovative space for engineering and design in the River Arts Makers Place, providing a pathway for students to make their careers and establishing a driving force in the creative economy. It is the rich creative talent both in the region and the university that has led to increased interest in combining elements of art and engineering into the curriculum. A reinvigorated partnership with The Center for Craft, Creativity & Design has resulted in the launch of the university’s Center for Creative Entrepreneurship, and more than $1 million in funding to bring UNC Asheville expertise in the humanities and liberal arts into downtown Asheville. A $1.5 million grant from the N.C GlaxoSmithKline Foundation elevates undergraduate research in chemistry and biology. This clear focus on student success and academic rigor remain at the heart of a UNC Asheville education, defined as directions in the university’s strategic plan, developed and implemented under Dr. Grant’s leadership. Through this strategic planning, she fostered a deep commitment to supporting diverse and inclusive communities, making innovation a core competency, and renewing attention toward sustainability – all core values of UNC Asheville. Extracurricular experiences and community engagement complete the plan and enrich modern scholars. Engaging the community is a major goal of Dr. Grant. Whether it is hosting world renowned speakers or national undergraduate research events, the university is better connected to the region than ever before. The growth of the university and city of Asheville over the past five years has demonstrated the need for the university to participate in the community. Faculty, staff, and students connect with city leadership to help address the

issues a growing city often experiences. With successful Division I athletics, the university establishes stronger ties to the region. Community service is critical at UNC Asheville, and it will continue to be a focal point for Dr. Grant. This mission-driven approach, anchored in the liberal arts, receives accolades from students, faculty, and college guides. The university was ranked #1 for “Making an Impact,” by The Princeton Review in 2016, recognizing schools with the best community service opportunities, student governments, sustainability, and on-campus student engagement, as well as graduates with high job meaning. UNC Asheville continues to earn high marks for value and academic excellence, garnering a Top 10 place on the Best Public Liberal Arts Colleges by U.S. News and World Report. Dr. Grant is a leader in public higher education, having served as chair of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC), where she directed a planning effort that culminated in bringing the COPLAC executive office to Asheville. She currently serves as president of the Big South Conference Council of Chief Executive Officers, as vice chair of the board for National Campus Compact, as a director of the Asheville Chamber of Commerce and United Way of Asheville, and a trustee of the Norman Rockwell Museum. She served as the chief academic officer and deputy CEO of UMassOnline and was a senior fellow at the John W. McCormack Institute of Public Affairs at UMass Boston, where she led the institute’s master’s program in public affairs and served as director of the Center for Social Policy. In addition, Dr. Grant served as assistant vice chancellor for administration and finance and human resources at UMass Boston. As president of MCLA, she oversaw growth in enrollment, strengthened the connections between the college and the community, and led the college’s first comprehensive capital campaign, resulting in approximately $100 million in new public and private support for the college. Dr. Grant has received numerous awards and recognitions, including the 2014 MCLA Distinguished Alumnus Award, and the New England Board of Higher Education’s (NEBHE) Massachusetts State Merit Award. She also received the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) District I Executive Leadership Award in recognition of her success in increasing MCLA’s institutional stature in, and service to, the community. Dr. Grant was the recipient of the 2011 American Council on Education Massachusetts National Network of Women Leaders Lifetime Achievement Award, and was appointed to the Massachusetts Governor’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Advisory Council. She holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology from MCLA, a master’s degree in public affairs from UMass Boston, a Ph.D. in social policy from The Heller School at Brandeis University, and an honorary degree from Williams College.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

JANET R. CONE

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Janet R. Cone, who has served as UNC Asheville’s Director of Athletics since 2004, is the only woman currently serving on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee that selects and seeds the teams for March Madness. She was one of just 28 Directors of Athletics to be named as an Under Armour AD of the Year in 2013 by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. In 2014, she negotiated the first-ever college revenue development service platform with IMG College to combine athletics development and capital campaign with sponsorship sales. This partnership generated recording breaking revenue for 2014-15 for the Bulldogs. Outside of UNC Asheville, Cone helped create the Asheville Buncombe Regional Sports Commission and was a former chair. She currently serves as a founding board member for the group. In addition to her term on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, she is currently serving on the NCAA Division I Institutional Performance Committee and on various Big South Conference Committees. Under Cone’s leadership the Bulldogs have achieved unbelievable progress with the creation and implementation of the “More Wins, More Friends, and More Resources” strategic plan. Cone, who also serves as the Senior Administrator for University Enterprises, oversaw the successful opening of the Wilma M. Sherrill Center which houses the Kimmel Arena, a new tennis facility, and the expansion of the Karl Straus Track Facility. Presently a campaign to build on-campus baseball and soccer stadiums is underway. More importantly, the Bulldog athletics department’s Academic Progress Rate is 977, and Bulldog student-athletes have an overall 3.108 GPA and a Graduation Rate of 85%. UNC

Asheville’s athletics budget is one of the lowest in NCAA Division I Athletics; however, under Cone’s leadership, a sustainable revenue plan has been implemented to increase the athletics budget from $2.1M to $5.7M and will add another $1.2M over the next two years. In spite of the budget, Bulldogs have won Big South Conference Championships in Baseball, Men’s Basketball, Women’s Basketball, and Women’s Soccer. The Bulldogs value community engagement and perform thousands of hours of community service each year, too. Cone continues to work rigorously to improve Gender Equity, and earlier this year, she announced the addition of women’s golf as the 16th NCAA Division I athletics program at UNC Asheville. When women’s golf tees off in 2016-17, they will become the second sport added in the last five years. The revival of the women’s swimming program in 2012-13 marked the first time that the athletics department had added a sport in 20 years. Prior to coming to Asheville, Cone served as the associate athletics director for Samford University, and also coached women’s basketball at Samford, Saint Leo University, Western Carolina University and Mars Hill College. Cone holds a bachelor’s degree from Furman University and a master’s degree from the University of South Carolina.

HEAD COACH NICK MCDEVITT

NICK MCDEVITT

HEAD COACH, FIFTH SEASON UNC Asheville, 2001 Nick McDevitt is in his fifth year as head coach of his alma mater. He was named as the program’s sixth head coach on April 28, 2013. The 2017 Big South Conference Coach of the Year and the NABC District 3 Coach of the Year, McDevitt led the Bulldogs to their sixth Big South Conference regular-season title in the 2016-17 season (1996-97, 199798, 2001-02, 2007-08, 2011-12 and 201617). He has now been a part of five of the six Big South Conference regular-season crowns either as a player, assistant coach or head coach (1997-98, 2001-02, 2007-08,

2011-12 and 2016-17). Just the third coach in Big South Conference history to win 15 or more games in each of his first four seasons as a head coach in the conference, McDevitt guided the Bulldogs to their second-most wins in program history in a season this past year with 23. This past year’s Bulldog team reached 20 wins faster than any other team in program history in 27 games. McDevitt’s program has now collected back-to-back 20-win seasons and made two straight postseason appearances with the Bulldogs playing in the 2016 NCAA Tourna-

HEAD COACH NICK MCDEVITT ment and the 2017 CollegeInsider.com Tournament. The appearance in this year’s CIT marked UNC Asheville’s sixth appearance in a postseason tournament with McDevitt a part of the program. The Bulldogs have advanced to the NCAA Tournament four times before (2003, 2011, 2012 and 2016) and the NIT (2008) once. McDevitt was also chosen as a finalist for the 2017 Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award. Named after the late Skip Prosser, who died suddenly in 2007 while the head coach at Wake Forest, the award is presented annually to those who not only achieve success on the basketball court but who also display moral integrity off of it as well. McDevitt overall has coached 20 different Bulldog players who have earned All-Big South Conference honors. McDevitt led the Bulldogs to the 2016 Big South Conference Tournament championship and a spot in the 2016 NCAA Tournament. Asheville finished the 2015-16 season 22-12 overall and 12-6 in Big South play in the 2015-16 season. Asheville swept the season series against Big South Conference opponents Campbell, Presbyterian, Longwood, Liberty and Charleston Southern. McDevitt and Asheville finished 15-16 overall and 10-8 in Big South play in 2014-15. Asheville swept the season series against Big South opponents Campbell, Gardner-Webb and Liberty and added a win over eventual league champion Coastal Carolina at home in late January. The summer of 2015 saw a pair of former Bulldogs earn professional contracts with Jaleel Roberts (Class of 2015) becoming the first player in Asheville history to earn an invitation to NBA training camp after signing with the Washington Wizards. Jaron lane (Class of 2014) also began his professional career when he signed with the London Lions of the British Basketball League. McDevitt’s first club bounced back from a 1-7 start to post a 17-15 overall record. The Bulldogs finished second in the South Division of the league with a 10-6 mark. Asheville knocked off Radford in the quarterfinals of the Big South Tournament before losing, 80-79, to Winthrop in the semifinals when two last-second shots wouldn’t fall. The Blue and White picked up an impressive non-conference win at College of Charleston for McDevitt first victory as head coach. Asheville picked up a win

over eventual league champion Coastal Carolina at home late in the season. McDevitt succeeded long-time Bulldog head coach Eddie Biedenbach. The Madison county native both played and coached under Biedenbach. After graduating from UNC Asheville in 2001, Biedenbach immediately appointed McDevitt to his coaching staff. He served as an assistant coach for 10 seasons before being elevated to Associate Head Coach in 2011. McDevitt was a four-year letterman for the Bulldogs from 1997 through 2001. He graduated in May 2001 with a degree in history. His playing time increased steadily during his career as he became a key player for UNC Asheville off the bench in the 2000-01 season. He was fifth on the team in three-pointers made with 11 and led the team by shooting 52 percent from long distance. In addition, McDevitt enjoyed considerable success off the court. He was named to the Big South Conference All-Academic team his junior and senior years and was a member of the Dean’s List four different times at UNC Asheville. He was also a member of the Big South Presidential Honor Roll three times and served on the NABC (National Association of Basketball Coaches) Student Basketball Council his junior and senior years.

SUCCESS ON AND OFF THE COURT

Left-to-right: UNC Asheville men’s basketball May 2017 graduates Giacomo Zilli, Will Weeks and David Robertson. The UNC Asheville men’s basketball team was noted for its performance in the classroom during the 2016-17 athletic year by earning the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Team Academic Excellence Award. The fifth annual Team Academic Excellence Awards, created by the NABC Committee on Academics, recognize outstanding academic achievement by teams with cumulative grade-point averages (GPA) of 3.0 or better for the 201617 season. In order to earn a NABC Team Academic Excellence Award, institutions in the NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA must count the grade-point averages of all men’s basketball student-athletes who competed during the 2016-17 season. The UNC Asheville men’s basketball team finished the 2016-17 athletic year with a cumulative team grade-point average of 3.094. “This honor means a great deal to our program,” UNC Asheville men’s basketball head coach Nick McDevitt said. “Our program truly takes a great deal of pride in taking care of things in the classroom, and this honor further emphasizes that our student-athletes care about winning on and off the court.” Three UNC Asheville men’s basketball student-athletes were named to the 2016-17 National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Honors Court that was released on Tuesday, July 18, 2017. The three UNC Asheville men’s basketball student-athletes recognized were graduated senior forwards Will Weeks and Giacomo Zilli and rising senior guard Kevin Vannatta. Weeks graduated from UNC Asheville in May of 2017 with a degree in Management. He closed out his career owning a 3.588 gradepoint average. During UNC Asheville’s road win at Longwood on Feb. 11, 2017, Weeks became the 83rd player in Big South Conference history to surpass 500 rebounds. Weeks ended his time as a Bulldog with 537 career rebounds. He closed out his Bulldog career with 805 total points. Weeks played in 33 games in the 2016-17 season, starting 22. He

averaged 6.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. In UNC Asheville’s thrilling home win over Winthrop on Feb. 9, 2017, Weeks picked up his lone double-double of the season with 14 points and a career-best 12 rebounds. He just missed on a triple-double in the contest as he also dished out a career-high-tying six assists. Zilli graduated in May of 2017 from UNC Asheville as a double major in Management and Economics. He concluded his time at UNC Asheville with a 3.964 grade-point average. A key four-year contributor for UNC Asheville men’s basketball, Zilli was chosen as the 2014-15 and 2016-17 Big South Men’s Basketball Scholar Athlete of the Year. This past season, Zilli averaged 4.0 points and 1.8 rebounds per game. He made 13 starts on the year for the Big South Conference regular-season co-champion Bulldogs. Zilli along with Vannatta were two of only 10 selected to the 201617 DI-AAA ADA Men’s Basketball Scholar-Athlete Team. Vannatta enters his senior season with the Bulldogs owning a 3.94 grade-point average as an Accounting major. Vannatta was named to the 2016-17 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District® 3 Men’s Basketball first-team in addition to being tabbed as a DI-AAA ADA Scholar-Athlete. Vannatta also represents UNC Asheville and the Big South Conference on the NCAA Division I National Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Last season, Vannatta played in all 33 games on the season, starting 32. He finished his junior campaign averaging 9.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and team-best and league fifth-best 3.3 assists per game. Vannatta’s 110 assists on the year were also a career-best. Vannatta led the Big South in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.93). He enters his senior season with 913 career points.

BULLDOGS AMONG THE BEST IN THE NATION

Kevin Vannatta at NCAA National Office in Indianapolis as part of his duties as National SAAC Representative. The 2016-17 UNC Asheville men’s basketball team was featured among the best in the nation in the final NCAA Division I men’s basketball statistics. The Bulldogs finished with the second-best turnover margin in the entire country at 4.9. UNC Asheville as a team forced its opponents into 547 turnovers (10th-best in Division I) while only turning the basketball over 384 times. The stingy Asheville defense also ended the 2016-17 season in the top-10 in the country in steals per game at 9.3 (seventh). The 306 steals this past year as a team by the Bulldogs was tied for sixth-best in NCAA Division I. These top-10 honors are on top of the numerous categories the Bulldogs led in the Big South as a team, including three-point field goal percentage (.394 – 19th in Division I), steals, turnover margin and assist-to-turnover ratio (1.3 – 28th in Division I). Individually, Big South Conference Defensive Player of the Year Ahmad Thomas finished fourth in the country in total steals with 99 and fifth in steals per game at 3.00. The junior do-it-all Thomas led the Big South Conference in field goal percentage at 54.4 percent shooting (243-of-447). Asheville junior guard Kevin Vannatta led the Big South Conference in assist-to-turnover ratio at 1.9. Big South Conference Freshman of the Year MaCio Teague ended his freshman All-America campaign second in the Big South Conference and 22nd in NCAA Division I in free throw percentage at 88.6 (101-of-114). At one point during Big South play this past season, Teague connected on 29 consecutive free throws. UNC Asheville head coach Nick McDevitt and his staff guided the Bulldogs to their sixth Big South Conference regular-season title in the 2016-17 season (1996-97, 1997-98, 2001-02, 2007-08, 2011-12 and 2016-17). The Bulldogs will commence the 2017-18 season having now collected back-to-back 20-win seasons and having made two straight postseason appearances with the Bulldogs playing in the 2016 NCAA Tournament and the 2017 CollegeInsider.com Tournament. The 2016-17 Bulldogs collected the second-most wins in program history in a season with 23. Asheville reached 20 wins faster than any other team in program history in 27 games.
