ASHEVILLE, N.C. — UNC Asheville fall teams are fighting for postseason position, and the Bulldogs face a road-heavy slate this week across soccer, volleyball, cross country, swimming and golf.

Men’s soccer opens the week at Wake Forest on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 7 p.m. in Winston-Salem. Asheville enters 9-2-1 and 3-1-0 in league play, while Wake Forest is 8-3-1. It is the fifth all-time meeting, with Wake Forest leading the series 4-0-0. The men close the week at Radford on Oct. 18 at 4 p.m.

Volleyball, at 14-7 and 2-3 in the league, plays two key Big South road matches. The Bulldogs visit Winthrop on Oct. 16 at 6 p.m. in Rock Hill, S.C., where Winthrop leads the all-time series 51-34. They then visit Gardner-Webb on Oct. 17 at 4 p.m. in Boiling Springs, a series Asheville leads 30-17 while riding a two-match winning streak.

Women’s soccer, 7-4-3 and 4-1-0 in league play, heads to Spartanburg, S.C., on Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. to face unbeaten-in-league USC Upstate in the Ingles I-26 Rivalry. Asheville leads that series 8-6, but Upstate has won the last four meetings.

UNC Asheville competes in the Big South Conference, and several of these matches carry league standings weight as the regular season winds down.

Cross country runs at the Panorama Farms Invitational in Charlottesville, Va., swimming and diving opens at East Carolina in Greenville on Oct. 16-17 in the sixth all-time meeting with ECU, which leads that series 3-2, and women’s golf plays the Diamante Intercollegiate in Hot Springs Village, Ark., on Oct. 18-20.
