This was the one that got away.
Despite leading by one at halftime and nursing a 74-66 lead
with seven minutes left to play, Appalachian State University
men’s basketball lead against the East Tennessee State
University Buccaneers evaporated in the final minutes of
their 93-80 loss Saturday in George M. Holmes Convocation
Center.

Despite winning several important categories in its game
against Elon University, Appalachian State University women’s
basketball team failed to win the category that mattered
most: the final score.
The 75-68 loss to Elon was the Mountaineer’s 13th straight
road loss and pushes their record to 3-14 overall, 2-8 in
conference play.
Appalachian and Elon went into halftime tied at 29, but Elon
started the second half with a 16-6 run to go up by 10 points
with 16 minutes left to play.

of North Carolina at Greensboro.
Mountaineer co-captain Lee Roper started things off right
in the 165-pound match, pinning Scott Fisher 2:29 into his

going to work on getting a pin.
