OXFORD, Ohio – App State's field hockey team suffered a 2-0 setback to second-seeded Miami in the semifinals of the Mid-American Conference Tournament.
 
The Mountaineers (11-9) conclude their season with their most wins since 2003. App State's 5-4 overtime victory in the quarterfinals over Ohio also propelled the Mountaineers to their third straight season with an appearance in the MAC Tournament semifinals.
 
In the first half, junior Annette Jarosz made a defensive save to help keep the game scoreless entering halftime. The junior then made another defensive save in the third period, pushing her season total to seven stops.
