App State women’s soccer didn’t have the start to the season they hoped for, losing 0-7 to Power Five program Tennessee at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex Saturday.
“We wanted to play at the highest level possible and play the best opponents we can to make ourselves better,” head coach Sarah Strickland said.
Tennessee struck first in the 13th minute after winning the ball from a goal kick. A pass through the App State defense got to Tennessee forward Jaida Thomas, who slid it into the bottom right corner.
Five minutes later, the Mountaineers gave the ball away in their own half and Volunteer winger Mackenzie George crossed the ball from the right side of the box.
