App State protects home court, sweeps Mountaineer Classic

The App State volleyball team swept the Mountaineer Classic 3-0 over the weekend.

App State opened the tournament early Friday afternoon facing off against Texas A&M Commerce, winning the match 3-1. The team invited some local schools to join the crowd for the home opener to help cheer the Mountaineers on.

“It was awesome to see their support,” freshman middle blocker Maya Winterhoff said. “I can just picture myself later with my class coming here and watching a volleyball game.”

In front of a home crowd for the first time, the Mountaineers and Lions battled early in the first set until the Mountaineers went on a 5-0 run to pull away early.
