App State women’s basketball returned to the hardwood Thursday, splitting a pair of games against Sun Belt rivals Arkansas State and The University of Arkansas at Little Rock Trojans.
This was the Mountaineers’ first action since Dec. 21, after having their previous four matchups canceled due to COVID-19 protocols and injuries on the team.
The Black and Gold started the new year hot, scoring the most points by an App State team since the 2018-19 season. The high-scoring affair had 14 ties and 12 different lead changes, with neither team ever having more than an eight-point lead, but the Mountaineers fell 98-92.
