Cats pick up win in the Asheville Collegiate Invitational

The Catamounts won the night cap of the Asheville Collegiate Invitational which matched up two teams from the Southern Conference and two from the Big South Conference at UNC Asheville's Kimmel Arena.

The Catamounts' 58-45 victory over Asheville evened the day's series that saw Charleston Southern defeat SoCon's UNC Greensboro by a narrow 60-57 final score.

Western Carolina's Diamond Hunnicutt scored a career high 16 points with the Cats shooting 43 percent from the field, and hitting 11 of 17 from the free throw line.

A good win and a great way to kick of the season for Karen Middleton's Catamounts.
