Buckner shines for Mountaineer softball in 2-3 weekend in Charleston

App State softball visited the College of Charleston Feb. 25-27 for the Cougar Classic. The Mountaineers split the weekend with two wins and three losses.

Sophomore pitcher Delani Buckner shined for App State, earning both wins for the Black and Gold before dropping the last matchup of the weekend against University of Connecticut in a close game.

App State opened the weekend with a shutout victory over long-time rival Western Carolina Friday morning. Buckner pitched a complete game while notching eight strikeouts in the win. Freshman infielder Addie Wray hit a single in the fourth inning to drive in junior utility player Addison Jones, and the Mountaineers never looked back, holding the Catamounts to just three hits.
