CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Facing last year's Conference USA Champions and NCAA Tournament squad Charlotte on the road in its season opener, the App State women's basketball team dropped a 98-94 heartbreaker in double overtime Tuesday.
Despite the loss, graduate transfer Lauren Carter and freshman Chaé Harris made strong debuts for the Mountaineers.
Carter set a single-game career high of 25 points, sinking 6-of-8 shots from behind the 3-point line, which is also single-game high for the High Point, N.C., native who previously played at Campbell and Morehead State. In her collegiate debut, Harris dropped in 22 points and went 5-of-6 from the charity stripe.
