App State honored their seniors on Sunday as the Mountaineers (9-17, 4-8 Sun Belt) defeated Troy (9-18, 3-9) in a late season conference matchup that took five sets to settle.
Alongside some exciting volleyball action, App honored seniors Courtney Sullivan, Ashlyn Brown, Cassidy Stephenson and Olivia Loeffler before the opening whistle.
Both Troy and App wanted a late season win to help get over the hump before the postseason, and the effort was apparent from the initial whistle.
App jumped out to an early lead thanks to kills from freshman outside hitters Grace Morrison and Lexi Kohut, but the lead exchanged four more times before the Mountaineers used a decisive 3-0 run to close out the first set 27-25.
