BOONE, N.C. - It had been two seasons since Appalachian State University men's soccer senior John Walrath scored a goal, but that all changed on Tuesday evening at Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex.

Walrath was fed a beautiful ball inside the box from Juan Hernandez before placing the shot between the goalkeeper's legs with under a minute left in the first overtime to lift App State (4-5-3) to an exhilirating 1-0 triumph over a pesky UNC Asheville (1-12) team that came in looking to snap a five-match skid.

"Great team win and shutout," head coach Jason O'Keefe said following the victory.
