In their final exhibition game before starting their regular season, App State women’s soccer showed a lot of promise defeating Elon 4-1 after falling behind 1-0 only six minutes into the game.
After taking 21 shots and failing to score in a 1-0 loss to Western Carolina in their first exhibition game on Thursday, the Mountaineers tied the game quickly after Elon jumped ahead early on and outshot the Phoenixes 18-10 in regulation and 9-0 in an extra 15 minute overtime.
“They were very strong on the ball and had a good strong first five minutes, which shocked us and we weren’t ready,” sophomore forward Jessica Easley said, who scored the game’s first goal.
