BOONE, N.C. - Appalachian State women's basketball (0-1) suffered a 75-41 setback in the season opener to Georgia Tech (1-0) on Friday evening at the Holmes Center.
It was the first time App had hosted a Power Five program since 2006-07 when the Yellow Jackets invaded the High Country. It was a matchup in which experience trumped youth as the Apps' five starters in Tierra Wilson, LaPresha Stanley, Nicola Mathews, Armani Hampton and Bayley Plummer have just one combined start between the five athletes, and four making their first-career start (Wilson, Stanley, Mathews, Plummer).
