On Monday, App State field hockey took down Atlantic-10 opponent Saint Louis 3-2. The Mountaineers trailed by two goals before scoring twice in the second half to force overtime, where senior captain and midfielder/forward Meghan Smart knocked in the game-winning goal on an assist from senior midfielder Veerle Van Heertum.
“I’m excited we could get out here, get the result that we wanted against a tough team that really challenged us today, so I’m really really proud of our team,” sixth-year head coach Meghan Dawson said.
At the end of the first period, both teams were scoreless, but Saint Louis quickly drew first blood five minutes into the second period.
