BOONE, N.C. - App State is set to host Bellarmine in a nonconference home series starting Saturday at noon from Brandon & Erica M. Adcock Field.
The Mountaineers enter the weekend eyeing to extend a two-game win streak coming off of back-to-back road stretches. On April 2-3, App State swept Mid-American Conference foe Ohio to improve to 5-5 overall and 4-4 in MAC play.
At 4-4 in conference, the Black and Gold currently sits second in the MAC standings behind undefeated conference leader Miami (OH) at 6-0. With no conference tournament being played this spring season, the regular-season standings champion will advance to the NCAA Tournament.
Bellarmine enters the weekend still looking to clinch their first win of the season as the Knights are off to a 0-8 start. Bellarmine is 0-6 against MAC opponents this spring. In goal for the Knights, Brenna McWhorter has recorded a total of 71 saves this season and leads the nation in saves per game averaging 8.875.
