BOONE, N.C. – For the second-straight game, Little Rock's defense kept its opponent in check while a second half surge kept the game out of reach as the Trojans toppled Appalachian State 73-57 at the Holmes Convocation Center. The win, coupled with losses from the two Georgia schools, puts the Trojans all alone in first place of the Sun Belt standings at 7-2 in league play and 13-7 overall.
The win over the Mountaineers marks the first time Little Rock has swept the Carolina road trip in program history. The Trojans never trailed at any point in time over the two-game trip as they won their sixth road game of the year, the most since the 12-win campaign in 2015-16.
