App State traveled to Morgantown, West Virginia, Sunday to take on power conference opponent West Virginia in a 72-51 loss to the Big 12 school.
“Although we’re having growing pains, we’re having a lot of growth moments,” head coach Angel Elderkin said.
The matchup against undefeated WVU proved another test for App State, coming off the Nov. 17 loss to Norfolk State at home.
“Just a really good experience playing an elite athlete and seeing our offense versus their defense, then our defense against their offense,” Elderkin said.
After the tipoff, WVU went on a 6-0 run through the first six minutes until redshirt junior forward A’Lea Gilbert stopped the run with a layup.
