The Appalachian State University football team did something
this week at practice they didn’t do during their 1-3
start or during their three-game stretch against nationally
ranked opponents.
They had fun.
“Practice wasn’t too much fun early in the season
when we were 1-3, but after we got our feet under us the
players started to enjoy practice,” head coach Jerry
Moore said.
The fun had at practice last week translated into a 47-7
smashing of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and
the Mountaineers hope fun this week will result in another
big win Saturday against Elon College (2-8, 1-5).

club hockey team has only one loss so far, and the team is
excited about the rest of the season.
“We’ve come together a lot quicker than in years
past,” senior Nick Beach said. “We have wins
earlier this season compared to this same time last year.”
The team has compiled a record of 3-1 in their first four
games, picking up two wins against Mary Washington College
and one win against the University of South Carolina.

Appalachian State University
field hockey begins the NorPac Conference Tournament today
in St. Louis. ASU comes into the tournament as a high seed,
but making the championship game will not be easy.
ASU’s bracket features the University of California
at Berkeley, a top team in the nation and the number one
team in the NorPac conference.
Seeded as the second team from the East Division, the Mountaineers'
first opponent will be the Stanford University Cardinals.
The Cardinals have struggled this year, finishing with a
4-12-0 record, 2-4-0 in the conference.

| Cross country's season ended last
week at Davidson College. The men finished second
overall and women finished third overall in conference. |
The Appalachian State University men’s and women’s
cross country teams delivered strong performances, both as
a team and individually, at the Southern Conference meet
last weekend at Davidson College.
The men’s team finished second in the conference, just
seven points behind the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
“We graduated four of five top runners from last season
and still finished within seven points of a good Chattanooga
team,” ASU head coach Mike Curcio said.
ASU’s Brandon Helms won the Freshman of the Year award,
finishing less than two seconds ahead of teammate and fellow
freshman Mark Maddox.

in the season and came out victorious 1-0. |
Southern Conference Tournament action starts today with the
annual women’s soccer tournament. Appalachian State
University, seeded sixth in the tournament, will face off
against the third-seeded College of Charleston today at 5
p.m.
ASU played the spoiler last Sunday, defeating East Tennessee
State University. That loss sent ETSU from third to fifth
in the conference, but also meant it would be the championship
game before ASU gets another shot at the Bucs.
College of Charleston carries an 11-6-2 record into the tournament,
including a 2-1 defeat of the Mountaineers in Boone. Kristin
Rhyne is the top scorer for the Cougars, totaling up eight
goals and five assists during the regular season. Alice Keeney
is a force in the goal, with a 1.07 goals against average
and five shutouts. ASU senior midfielder Renee Stetkevich
is confident about the team going into SoCon tournament action.
