BOONE, N.C. – App State Field Hockey won its first game against a Top 25 ranked opponent in school history on Friday night by beating No. 24 James Madison 2-0 in an intense defensive match.
After a scoreless first quarter, senior midfielder Friederike Stegen scored in a go-ahead corner play to put the Mountaineers up 1-0. Junior and freshman midfielders Pauline Mangold and Sterre Molkenboer assisted Stegen on the goal.
"Initially, I thought to do a drag flick, but I saw that the left side was open," Stegen said.
