App State women’s soccer secured a 2-0 victory over Louisiana Oct. 21 at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex. The Mountaineers earned their first win in conference play, putting an end to an eight-game losing streak.
“It’s been a lot of ups and downs, but I’m proud of the kids for persevering and continuing to battle every single day,” head coach Sarah Strickland said. “We’ve been battling, playing, competing and getting better and better every day, and it was just missing that one piece.”
The Mountaineers took the lead in the 16th minute when junior winger Hayley Boyles crossed the ball toward sophomore striker Breckyn Monteith, who kicked the ball into the net.
