BOONE, N.C - Appalachian State University women's soccer (0-1) put forth a valiant effort in a 1-0 setback on Friday afternoon against a tough High Point (1-0) team in the season opener at Ted Mackorell.

The Mountaineers fired away 17 shots in the setback to the Panthers' eight attempts, but the difference maker was the lone attempt at the net that gave the visitors the only goal of the game. Maggie Gruber barely got a hold of the ball inside the box
to pick up the score. App had its chances, mostly in the second half with three shots on goal, but Alex Hank showed why she was named the Big South Preseason Defensive Player of the Year.
