Despite their strong start to the season, the Mountaineer men’s soccer team was yet to earn a shutout going into their game against Longwood (0-4-1) on Saturday. The combination of freshman forward Reed Hunnicutt’s first career goal, and a string of impressive saves from junior goalkeeper Jake Chasteen seemed to do the job as the Mountaineers (3-3-1) were able to produce their first clean sheet of the year 1-0.
After a tough loss against No. 4 ranked Wake Forest earlier in the week, a game where App State was held to no shots the entire 90 minutes, the Mountaineers looked like a completely different team this time around, taking fire 11 times throughout the game.
