this point is wait.
With one more weekend of regular season Division
I-AA football before the selection committee fills the playoff brackets,
Appalachian State University is in a good position to make it to
the postseason. But nothing is set in stone yet.
Appalachian finished its season last weekend with
a 24-14 win over regional rival Western Carolina University. The
win left the Mountaineers with an 8-3 overall record and a 6-2 Southern
Conference record.
But last weekend was full of surprises for Division
I-AA football.
The University of Montana, the defending National
Champion, lost its first game of the season. The Grizzlies had held
steadily at No. 1 in both the Sports Network and the USA Today/ESPN
polls throughout the season. They dropped to fourth on both after
the defeat.

Special to The Appalachian
The Mountaineer women’s
club volleyball team are in the newly established Carolina Club
Women’s Volleyball League (CCWVL).
With a team of 11 women representing
all four classes, the Appalachian State University women’s
Club Volleyball team has a unique blend of experience and youth
that has them excited about this year’s play.
The experience of the team comes largely from
Lindsay D. Lamb. Lamb, a junior secondary education major from Asheboro,
serves as the team captain, coach and president for the club. She
is in charge of running and organizing the practices, which usually
run for two hours on Monday and Wednesday. However, there is a possibility
of adding another day for practice if the team agrees on it.
