App State women’s soccer earned a 1-0 home victory late against Sun Belt Conference rival Troy Friday.
Though defense defined the game, with each team remaining scoreless for the first 87 minutes, the Mountaineers broke through, with under three minutes left, on a goal from senior midfielder/forward Tess Cariney. From there, the team held onto their lead and secured the victory.
“It was so exciting,” said Cariney. “We had so many corners, and so many of them were close, so for that to be the (game-winning) goal, it was unbelievable.”
Though the Mountaineers had a season-high 11 corner kicks, the team was shut out from scoring until the final minutes.
