| Senior Aisha Bryant (25) drives
past a High Point defender last night. Bryant scored
16 to help the Mountaineers win 86-63 in their home
opener at the George M. Holmes Convocation Center. |
Three straight slow first-half
starts marred the Appalachian State University women’s
basketball team during action last week, resulting in a 0-3
start to the season.
Combined, the Mountaineers were outscored 129-74 in the first
half by the University of South Carolina, Florida International
University and Saint Joseph’s University.
“For the most part, we just shot ourselves in the foot
early,” ASU head coach Adrienne Shuler said.
