| McPherson (19) scored one of
the two goals during the game on Tuesday. Mountaineers play
the undefeated Gamecocks Saturday. |
Before a crowd of 557, Mountaineer Fredrik Henriksen
and Keon McPherson delivered second-half goals within five minutes
of each other.
At the 35:21 mark, Henriksen squirted a penalty kick through the
UNC-Asheville blocking brigade and past the goalie into the corner
of the net for the first goal of the game. Henriksen now has three
goals on the season, out of five total Mountaineer goals.
McPherson sealed the victory with 31:15 left, delivering a side
shot off an assist from Carter Parrish. McPherson’s first goal
of the season, it was Parrish’s second assist.

| Inaugural matchup for Mountaineers against Morehead
State |

Even though Appalachian State’s
football team is 0-2, with only one more game before conference
play starts, head coach Jerry Moore said the game on Saturday against
Morehead State University is not a must-win game.
“I think there is a sense of urgency among
the players and coaches, but the must-win games start next week,”
Moore said. “This is not a do or die game.”
Morehead State is currently 1-1, having
lost to University of Dayton in their opening game and then defeating
Coastal Carolina University last week. This game marks the first
time that the two schools meet.

The Appalachian State University men and women’s
cycling team aims to win another Atlantic Coast Cycling Conference
championship.
“We’re looking forward to hopefully taking the conference
championship as well as taking several guys to nationals,”
said senior Benjamin Early, who returns to his fourth season.
Appalachian took home the ACCC Road Championship in both 2001 and
2002, and they look to repeat as champions this year.
“I think the team will be strong,” Early said. “We
have strong riders like Taylor Jones, Hatcher Rosebrock and Alisha
Little, as well as many others who can contribute to the team.”
The Mountaineers have become accustomed to having strong riders.
