BOONE, N.C. - Appalachian State University women’s basketball (6-12, 3-6 SBC) showed excellent resiliency in an 96-81 win over Troy (10-9, 5-5 SBC) Thursday evening in Trojan Arena.
Head coach Angel Elderkin needed to light a fire under the squad after two setbacks at home against Georgia State and Georgia Southern, and that’s exactly what she did lighting 15 matches in the locker room before the game. It gave the Apps motivation in the victory, snapping a four-game losing streak while four players set new career highs.
Joi Jones was one of many great performances on the evening with a team-high 18 points, dished out a career-best 8 assists, grabbed five boards and turned the ball over just once.
