For the second-straight game, PC's (5-18, 3-7) defense shined early, keeping UNC Asheville (7-17, 2-9) off the scoreboard until the 12:13 mark in the first period.  The time is significant because it was the same as Allen's first basket on Tuesday evening.  The Blue Hose led by nine when the first basket went in.

Asheville answered back to knot the scores at 18-18 before the Blue Hose initiated an 11-2 run down the stretch in the first half to take a 29-20 margin into the intermission. 

Out of the break, Asheville sparked a 21-2 run that erased the nine-point Blue Hose lead and gave the Bulldogs a 10-point lead of their own.  The high-water mark for Asheville came at the 13:30 point when the Bulldogs led 41-31.

The Blue Hose chipped away at the lead, bringing the lead to just two points thanks to five points on just two trips from Mills.  However, late three-point shooting and clutch foul shots would help establish the final margin at seven points.

Kristen Stevens scored 15 points in the game while Dria David accounted for 10 points and three steals.  Devin Fothergill and Chelsea Wright each had seven rebounds to pace PC on the boards. 

Asheville was 14-of-22 (64 percent) in the second half from the field while the Blue Hose shot 11-of-26 (42 percent).  Chioma Okoli scored a game-high 18 points to lead the Bulldogs to victory.

The Blue Hose return home for a home matchup against North Carolina Central on Tuesday afternoon.  The game is the front-end of a PC Basketball Doubleheader which starts at 5 p.m.
