ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The Bulldog Blue & White Challenge will resume on Tuesday as the men’s and women’s tennis teams compete. The action will get underway at 1 p.m. from the Asheville Racquet Club.

Blue & White Rewind & Updated Schedule – The Bulldog Blue & White Showdown began last weekend with Swimming & Diving and Golf. The Blue team picked up the win in the competition from the Justice Center Pool on Saturday, while the White squad evened the score at a point aside with a victory on the links Sunday.

On a different note, the wet weather forecasted for Asheville late this week has altered the final events of the Blue & White Showdown. Instead of playing at 6 p.m. Friday, the women’s soccer team will take the pitch at 6 p.m. Wednesday. The men’s soccer team has bumped up their outing to 10:30 a.m. Thursday morning. Both contests can be watched live or on replay via ESPN+. The remaining schedule of this week’s events are unchanged.

Format for Tuesday – Tuesday’s Blue & White contest will feature three rounds of two mixed doubles matchups, one men’s doubles tilt to go along with a single men’s and women’s match. Each will play a set starting at two games a piece and will be awarded one point per win.

Rosters for Blue & White – Both the men’s and women’s tennis teams will be split into Blue & White teams. The teams for Tuesday can be found below.
