German field hockey star breaks program assist record

App State field hockey traveled to Bellarmine and secured a 4-2 victory over the Knights Oct. 10. What was supposed to be a normal conference matchup ended up becoming a game that will go down in university history within just two minutes, thanks to an assist from one player.

In the second minute of the first period, the Mountaineers took the lead after a goal by sophomore midfielder Pauline Mangold. She was assisted by senior midfielder Friederike Stegen, who recorded her 23rd collegiate assist, becoming the program’s all-time leader in assists.

“She draws a lot of attention during games, but when drawing the attention, she likes to give the ball up,” head coach Meghan Dawson said.
