| Sean Jackson (24) carried the
ball while Torez Leach (26) blocks a Citadel player during
the game Saturday. Travis Zobel won the game for the Bulldogs
with the game winning 26-yard field goal. ASU moves to a 1-3
season. |
Appalachian’s senior kicker Erik Rockhold
was the hero last week against Morehead State University.
This time it was Travis Zobel’s turn.
The Citadel senior kicker/punter executed a fake punt that led to
a touchdown and later kicked the winning 26-yard field goal, enabling
The Citadel to escape with a 24-21 victory against Appalachian Saturday.
Zobel is usually reserved for kickoffs and punts,
leaving the field goal duties to redshirt-freshman Blake Vandiver.
Vandiver had already missed an extra point earlier
in the game so The Citadel’s head coach Ellis Johnson called
on Zobel to kick the game winner.

| With the 4-0 win over Catawba
College the Mountaineers improve their record to 6-2, and
now lead in conference for goals scored with 21. |
A diverse scoring approach was the key to
Appalachian State University field hockey’s 4-0 win over visiting
Catawba College on Sunday. Four different players scored goals,
two others earned assists.
The scoring started just seven minutes in when
junior Lizzie Watson put a shot past Catawba goalkeeper Lauren Weitzel.
Senior Bridgette Burkhardt was credited with the assist.
A penalty corner opportunity came just 54 seconds
later, resulting in the second Appalachian goal. Kim Helscel and
Burkhardt set up Nara Brookes for her seventh goal of the season,
leading the team.

This year the Appalachian State
University equestrian team wants to place in the top five at regionals,
said senior Erin Fiore who returns to her fourth year on the team.
“Top five would be great this year,” Fiore said. “We’re
hoping to get our numbers up at the shows and get our scores up.”
The team consists of two competing groups: Hunter Jumper and Dressage.
They compete in both the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association
(IHSA) and the Intercollegiate Dressage Association (IDA).
