Mountaineers split road trip, head towards final stretch of season

After dropping two straight games last week against Marshall and JMU, App State traveled to Monroe, Louisiana to face off against the University of Louisiana at Monroe.

The Mountaineers were able to grind out a defensive-minded win, 52-45, at the Fant-Ewing Coliseum Thursday.

App State set the tone early, holding ULM to 21.43% shooting in the first half. The Black and Gold went into halftime with a 31-19 lead, with junior forward CJ Huntley leading the team in scoring with eight points.

In the second half, both teams were unable to get much going offensively, trading scoring droughts.
