SAN MARCOS, Texas - A dominating defensive performance by Appalachian State University women's basketball (8-7, 2-2 SBC) led to a 62-49 triumph over Texas State (8-8, 3-1 SBC) on Saturday afternoon at the Strahan Center.
After surrendering a season-high 99 points against UTA, the Mountaineers' defense stymied Texas State into a season-low 49 points and 30.5 percent shooting from the floor. It's the lowest scoring total at home for TXST in 27 games since the 2016-17 season against UTA when it scored 39 points.
The 49 points given up is also the fewest allowed this season and the first time allowing under 50 points since holding Georgia Southern to 48 in a 25-point win during the 2016-17 season.
