BOONE, N.C. - After two weather delays totaling nearly three hours, Appalachian State women's soccer yielded to Clemson, 1-0, at a soggy ASU Soccer Stadium on Friday night. With the win, Clemson remains perfect at 4-0-0, while the Black and Gold stand at 1-3-0 on the year.

In the first half, Taylor Dunlap had the Apps best opportunity but her shot was saved by an acrobatic Lauren Arnold in goal for the Tigers.

By the midpoint of the period, formerly clear skies had darkened and lightning silhouetted the surrounding peaks around Boone. With 15:38 remaining, the approaching storm was deemed too close and play was suspended for over two hours.

With the players and field equally refreshed, the teams took to the field, and Clemson's pace soon controlled the action. Several Tigers and Mountaineers engaged on the ball and each other near the ASU goal, and in the end, Liska Dobberstein was able to put the ball in the net for her third goal of the year. Her shot came off a short pass from Heather Marik.

In the second half, the Mountaineers maintained pressure, but both teams struggled to get the ball out of midfield. Nearly twenty minutes into the period, Mother Nature again forced a timeout on the field, this time for little more than 30 minutes.

The Apps continued the fight through the waning minutes, but the efforts of Arnold in goal and her defensive compatriots stifled the Mountaineers' offensive opportunities. In the end, the Tigers' 1-0 lead stood, and Clemson walked away with the win four hours and 42 minutes after the game had started.

Amy Kolowsky made six saves in goal for ASU, as Clemson held a seven to two advantage in shots on goal.

Appalachian wraps up the weekend on the road with a visit to Farmville, Va. to face off against Longwood on Sunday at 2 p.m.
