WBB: UNCA travels to Ramsey on Wednesday

The UNC Asheville women’s basketball team travels to Cullowhee and the Ramsey Center on Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm. The Lady Bulldogs are looking to avenge a loss to the Catamounts last season in Asheville, 58-45.

The Cats enter the game on a three game slide, while the Bulldogs are 2-1 thus far this season, with wins over Furman and Eastern Kentucky at home, and a loss on the road to Wofford.

The Bulldogs were a preseason pick to finish in 11th place (last) in the Big South Conference preseason poll.

Second-year coach Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick returns eight letterwinners from 2012-13. Leading the way for the Bulldogs are junior guard Shonese Jones, the Big South Freshman of the Year in 2012.  She returns from a season ending injury and was averaging 14.5 points per game before a knee midway through the season. Junior forward Jeannie Buckner (4.6 ppg, 3.9 rpg) along with sophomore guard Paige Love (7.4 ppg, 83 assists, 24 steals) also look to be big contributors for Asheville. Red-shirt sophomores Tacey Trammel and Leah Wormack also return as both missed most of last season with injuries.
