App State (7-18, 5-9 Sun Belt) hosted the Jaguars of the University of South Alabama (15-9, 8-5 Sun Belt) at Holmes Convocation Center in an overtime thriller that gave the Mountaineers a much-needed win at home.
App State led for three periods before South Alabama took over late. Thanks to an impressive defensive stand by the Mountaineers and a clutch 3-pointer from freshman guard LaPresha Stanley, the excitement stretched on for an extra five-minute overtime period.
Stanley went 3-7 from inside the arc and drained her only 3-pointer of the night. She was key to App State’s victory, scoring 10 points from the free-throw line and providing the Mountaineers with some much-needed playmaking ability.
