About the Mountaineers
The Apps are coming off their season opener in which they went toe-to-toe with a tough High Point squad. If it wasn't for an unlucky tip that barely went by Taylor Ray, the match could have gone the other or way or concluded to a draw. App had a few opportunities in the second half with three shots on goal and later a near miss by Kat Greer in the final minute where it would sail right at the open net.

Appalachian begins its three-game road swing on Sunday against the Camels. Last season, App finished 5-5 on the road and boasted a 3-1 mark in the previous four matches away from the High Country dating back to last season.

The Mountaineers had some newcomers make see some action in their first collegiate match with Lauren Burke playing the entire second half between the posts. Blair Anderes (23 minutes), Abbey Rand (14 minutes), Mary Perkins (8 minutes) and Amber Anderson (7 minutes) would all garner minutes on Friday in their debut.
