BOONE, N.C. – App State Soccer put applied pressure from start to finish, highlighted by a season-high 14 corner kicks, but the Mountaineers were unable to find the back of the net in a 1-0 loss to Coastal Carolina on Sunday. 
 
Coastal Carolina (8-5-2, 2-3-1) broke a scoreless deadlock in the 87^th minute of play. Off a corner kick, from Kamden Pierce, Olivia Goretski headed the ball back towards the top of the 18-yard box where Sammy Schulze was able to step into a low line drive shot into the bottom-left corner of the net.
 
Despite coming up empty on the scoreboard, App State led 10-3 in shots and 5-3 in shots on goal for the match. Ellie Garrison led the way with three shots, while Olivia Simon and Madison Abi-Saab had two apiece. 
 
Lucy Harrington, Maddie Williams and Anaya Jones played all 90 minutes on the back line, while Hanna Skogsfors registered a pair of saves in goal. 
 
The Mountaineers will be back in action on Friday when they travel to face Arkansas State at 5 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
