CHATTANOOGA --- The Chattanooga Mocs volleyball team is set to travel to Asheville, North Carolina on Wednesday to face UNC Asheville in a non-conference matchup. First serve is slated for 6 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
 
Chattanooga (1-5) is coming off a 1-2 weekend at the Jacksonville Invitational where the team earned its first win of the season with a 3-1 decision over Presbyterian. It was narrowly a perfect weekend with the pair of losses both coming in five-set thrillers.
 
Asheville (3-5) has played all eight matches inside the state of North Carolina this season and carries a 2-3 record in home matches into Wednesday's matchup. The Bulldogs have faced a pair of Southern Conference opponents in the early going, dropping both contests to Western Carolina (8/30) and UNCG (9/3) by 3-0 tallies.
