Two days removed from what head coach Angel Elderkin called a “bizarre” shooting game where the App State women’s basketball team shot 19.6 percent from the field, the Mountaineers started off hot against the UT Arlington Mavericks, shooting 70 percent in the first quarter.
After that, the Mountaineers (8-12, 3-6 Sun Belt) fell to victim to cold shooting once again, making only 10 percent and 16.7 percent of their shots from the field in the second and third quarter respectively to ultimately fall 73-62 to first place Sun Belt team UT Arlington (15-4, 8-1 Sun Belt).
“I was really proud of our teams bounce back and how they started the game and the fight they had,” Elderkin said.
