Women’s soccer opened their four-game road trip with victories over Wofford and Florida International Sept. 9 and 12. The matches serve as the Mountaineers’ last non-conference opponents before conference play begins against Georgia Southern Thursday.
In their first match against Wofford, the Mountaineers struck early. In the seventh minute, sophomore forward Brecklyn Monteith found the net off an assist from freshman forward Stephanie Barbosa. The goal marks Monteith’s third on the campaign and Barbosa’s second assist on the season.
App State would strike again in the ninth minute to take a 2-0 lead. Senior defender Kirsten Seeley scored unassisted thanks to a corner kick produced by a header from freshman midfielder Gracie Gialotto.
