ATHENS, OHIO – App State field hockey earned its second-longest winning streak in program history while clinching a spot in the Mid-American Conference Tournament by defeating Ohio 2-1 on Friday afternoon.
The Mountaineers (12-5, 5-2 MAC) won their eighth straight game and finished regular season play with five conference wins. The longest streak ever was earned during the team's inaugural season, when the Black & Gold won their last 11 matchups in 1968.
App State will be the No. 3 seed in the tournament, competing alongside Miami, Kent State and Ball State. This is the squad's first appearance in the tournament since 2019 when they defeated Central Michigan and Ohio before falling to Miami in the quarterfinals.
