BOONE, N.C. – After a bye-week full of training, Appalachian State University field hockey hit the pitch this weekend and will host two matches at the Brandon & Erica M. Adcock Field Hockey Stadium. On Saturday, Sept. 17, App State will face future Mid-American Conference (MAC) foe Longwood University at 5 p.m. and on Sunday, Sept. 18, Appalachian will battle against the VCU Rams at 1 p.m.
The Mountaineers (1-3) look to build off of their miraculous victory over the LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds on Sept. 4. After a hard-fought loss against James Madison on Sept. 2, Appalachian bounced back with a win rolling over the Blackbirds 8-1.
