Special to the Sun Belt Conference
Mountaineers Survive Road Test
A four-minute stretch at the end of the first half was enough to turn the momentum and keep Appalachian State as one of three unbeaten teams in the Sun Belt Conference’s East Division.
That stretch turned a 9-7 deficit into a 21-9 halftime lead, and the Mountaineers never looked back last Tuesday in taking a 35-9 win at Arkansas State in a much-anticipated matchup of the preseason favorites in the Sun Belt’s two divisions.
“That was a big win for us on the road,” said App State coach Scott Satterfield.
