The App State men’s soccer team held their annual black and gold exhibition game at Ted Mackorell Stadium on Friday night as the gold team defeated the black team 1-0 in a defensive battle.

The game consisted of two 35-minute halves with very limited substitutions, allowing everyone to experience on the field action.

“It was a great training exercise to improve some match fitness,” head coach Jason O’Keefe said. “We got 70 minutes and we didn’t have a lot of subs so guys had to kind of work through things. I am hoping we improve match fitness and be more ready to go with more minutes and higher intensity for Tuesdays game against Wofford.
