BOONE, N.C. - App State volleyball opened the Appalachian Invitational with a five-set win over Eastern Kentucky Friday.
"To pull out that win after losing the third and fourth set being up 2-0 was huge, because we had to earn it," head coach Matt Ginipro said. "EKU was not giving us a lot of points, and we had to earn every single one of them. That fifth set effort and the fight was fantastic."
The Mountaineers soared out of the gates early winning the first two sets with back-to-back 26-24 set efforts.
