The Mountaineers men’s soccer team got off to a slow start Tuesday night against UNC Asheville. As the game got going, more opportunities arose for the men to score, but they could not capitalize. The Bull Dogs (1-12, 0-4 Big South) stuck around and challenged App State to the very end before the Mountaineers’ (4-5-3, 0-0-1 Sun Belt) senior defender John Walrath scored with under a minute remaining in the first extra time period to give the Mountaineers the victory 1-0.
“You have to give Asheville credit, they made things very difficult,” head coach Jason O’Keefe said. “I’m elated for our team because we have been working so hard.
