had two pins to give the Mountaineers 12 points. The Mountaineers
finished 40-7 over Greensboro.

Three pins, a major
decision and a couple of forfeits helped boost Appalachian State
University past the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG)
40-7.
“The kids did well,” said head coach Paul Mance. “Greensboro
is a little young this year and don’t have a whole lot of kids
on the team. New coach, new program, Greensboro is going to be really
good in the next two years.”
Sean E. McIntosh, at 184 pounds, and Josh A. Carroll, at 197 pounds,
set the tone with two pins early to give the Mountaineers 12 points.
“Me and Josh work out all the time, we do a little extra stuff
on the side,” said senior Travis S. Drake. “He’s
been working pretty hard; we’re going to make a man out of
him.” Another pin came from the 141-pound slot where Eric S.
Burns came up with the big victory.

against Chattanooga on Saturday. Appalachian’s next game
is today at UNC Greensboro.

The Appalachian State University
women’s basketball team lost in a lopsided game to conference-leading
University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) Saturday 70-48.
The Mocs improved their record to 8-0 in conference
and added another victory to their nine-game winning streak due
to the sub-par performance of the Mountaineers. Chattanooga forced
the Mountaineers into 24 turnovers, and the Lady Mocs turned those
miscues into 30 points. UTC freshman Tiffani Roberson paced the
Lady Mocs with 12 points, which marked her sixth double-digit game
in the last seven outings.
She also pulled a career-high eight boards. Miranda
Warfield scored 11 points, and Jennifer Wilson tallied 10 with five
boards.

down the slalom on her first run Jan. 12. Leslie may possibly
be out for the rest of the season but hopes to compete again
soon.

During its race at Sugar Mountain
Jan. 12, the women’s club ski team won the event but lost a
skier, possibly for the rest of the year.
After her first run on the slalom, Kate Leslie was heading back
down the mountain in preparation for her next run on the giant slalom.
Two skiers approached her on both sides, and her ski tips crossed.
“I felt the tips cross, and I fell down,” Leslie said.
“It knocked the wind out of me real good. My friend just thought
it was a standard fall and told me to get up, but I couldn’t
move. When I fell, I could feel the ligament just tear, and I couldn’t
lift my leg up at all.”
Leslie tore the medial collateral ligament (MCL) in her right knee
and had to be taken down the mountain in the emergency cart.
