About the Mountaineers
The Apps are coming off a thrilling 3-2 double overtime on the road against Louisiana.
Emmily Cowie's first goal of the season was clutch as it gave App the pivotal win needing to stay in the thick of the tournament race. App State needed to come back from two separate one-goal deficits in the victory, while
Kat Greer and
Lindsey Tully both notched goals in the contest. Tully scored her second goal in as many matches, and all five of Greer's goals have either given App the lead or tied up the match. App State will need to have a good weekend to make the top eight in the Sun Belt. The Mountaineers are one point behind Little Rock and Louisiana in the standings. However, App can make up ground in the standings as two wins could supplant the Mountaineers into a top four seed depending on the rest of the results this weekend.
Senior Day
Sunday will mark the final home game for eight seniors in
Sam Steyl,
Sharon Osterbind,
Lindsey Tully,
Kelly Flanders,
Erin Settle,
