deny Coach Mance 300th win |
by Hugh Kellenberger
Staff Writer
The Virginia Military Institute Keydets finished what they started
Sunday afternoon, out-wrestling Appalachian State University 20-18
at Varsity Gym. In the process they denied ASU of giving head coach
Paul Mance his 300th victory.
It all came down to the 197 lbs match, pitting senior Jason Cox,
27-8 on the year, against the former freshmen All-American, Josh
Carroll, wrestling in just his seventh match this season.
“We
put a lot of pressure on him,” Mance said.

wear heavily on team |
by Brad Norman
Senior Staff Writer
The Appalachian State University women’s basketball team dropped
the first two games of their three-game road trip, losing to Davidson
College Feb. 3 and Furman University Feb. 7.
Appalachian came into the Davidson game with an upset in mind, but
quickly fell behind in the opening minutes. Davidson built on their
lead and thoroughly dominated ASU throughout the first half. Appalachian
shot just 18 percent during the first half and committed 14 turnovers
en route to a 37-17 halftime score.

| ASU adds 11 scholarship recipients |
Appalachian State University signed eight football
recruits on initial signing day and added three more players days
later, giving the program 11 new scholarship players.
The crown jewel of the recruiting class is quarterback Trey Elder,
who was Mr. Football for South Carolina in 2003. Elder is a quarterback
from the Richie Williams mold, in the sense that he’s tall,
lanky (6-foot-1, 180 pounds) and he can run.

The Appalachian State University club ice hockey team looks to snap

take on Clemson University.
“We want to do well and get out of this rut,” senior
defenseman and team president B.J. Radhe said.
ASU, 3-5 in the Blue Ridge Hockey Conference, has had its share
of ups and downs on the ice this year.
“There’s some struggling going on,” Radhe said.
