The App State women’s basketball team took on the Radford Highlanders (5-1) on Sunday in a non-conference home matchup. It was the end of a three-game home stand and the team’s first game since last Wednesday, a win over North Carolina A&T.

App State (4-4) lost a tough 57-54 game, with two chances to send the game into overtime in the closing seconds. The Mountaineers put up an impressive rally late to get it close but in the end it wasn’t enough.

“We took ourselves out of it. We played in spurts and we didn’t put 40 minutes together,” head coach Angel Elderkin said.
