The play was the result of pure hustle. A hunger for the ball, coupled with anticipation and execution.
Junior forward Izzi Wood broke toward the passing lane, intercepted the ball at the top of the 18-yard box, took one touch with her left foot, whipped her right leg, and buried her first goal of the season en route to App State Soccer's first win of the season on Aug. 25 against UT Martin.
For the fans in attendance at The Valley that night, it was exactly the excitement they came to see.
