During Black History Month, App State Athletics is highlighting some of the accomplishments and perspectives of student-athletes who strive to make a difference.
Sydney Snowden is a native of Chandler, Ariz., and is a freshman defender on the App State soccer team majoring in nursing.
An All-District and All-Region honoree at Perry High School, Snowden adjusted quickly to the college game, starting on the Mountaineers' back line in the season-opener and amassing 13 starts in her first season in Boone. She helped the App State defense post four shutouts on the season and collected her first collegiate assist to propel App State to a 1-0 road win over Louisiana on Sept.
