BOONE, N.C. - Big plays down the stretch and a 3-pointer by Nicola Mathews with 11 seconds left helped Appalachian State University women's basketball (6-15, 4-6 SBC) gut out a thrilling 68-66 triumph against Arkansas State (10-10, 5-4 SBC) on Saturday afternoon at the Holmes Center.
Leading up to the final few minutes, the Mountaineers and Red Wolves were tied after Jada Ford hit a 3-pointer to knot things up, 61-61. After Plummer had missed the back end of a pair at the line, Calder muscled an offensive rebound and then put it back up to give App a 64-61 cushion.
