| Richie Williams (7) ran for
122 yards at Saturday’s game. An estimated 16,811 fans
saw the Mountaineers come back from an eight-point deficit. |
The game was not pretty by any means, but the
Appalachian State Mountaineers will gladly take an ugly win at this
point.
Appalachian came back from an eight-point deficit
late in the third quarter to claim a hard-fought 24-21 victory over
the Morehead State Eagles in front of an estimated 16,811 fans Saturday.
With the score tied late in the game and overtime almost certain,
quarterback Richie Williams ran for a 73-yard gain, the biggest
play by the offense all season.
The run was the longest of the season and of Williams’
career.

I’ve been playing in college because we have a larger team
where everyone seems more committed and really motivated,”
four-year starter Annemarie Carzoli said.
“In the past we haven’t really had very many people playing,
but this year we have about 21 players at practice,” Elisabeth
Korb, who returns to her fourth season, said. “We’re looking
