Appalachian State women’s basketball’s senior night blew a 19-point lead against Coastal Carolina on Saturday in their final regular season game before heading into the Sun Belt tournament next week.
The Mountaineers (11-18, 6-12 Sun Belt) used the emotions of senior night to jump out to a 7-0 run in the first quarter, thanks to the three senior starters Bria Carter, Ashley Bassett-Smith and Joi Jones, but after pulling ahead by 19 in the first half, the Mountaineers couldn’t hold on and fell 56-53 after a late game Chanticleers comeback.
“We wish the outcome would have been different,” Bassett-Smith said.
