| Mocs' statistical prowess brings
Mountaineers to knees |
by Brad Norman

The last time Appalachian State University played the University
of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Noah Brown lit the Mocs up for 35 points
and his team shot 56 percent from the field in a 94-77 victory.
This time it was Chattanooga’s turn to catch fire.
The Mocs hit their first five shots from the floor, four of them
three -ointers, and never looked back as they blew the Mountaineers
at the Holmes Convocation Center with a 74-49 beating. Although
the Mocs won by 25 points, the final score was still not indicative
of how one-sided the game was.
“They [UTC] look like a team going forward, like a team progressing
into the tournament with some positive energy, and we looked exactly
the opposite,” Fancher said. “They deserved to win today.
They looked like a team on the run and we looked like a team running
to hide. This is a setback; there’s no way to candycoat and
there’s no way to hide it. It’s a disappointment.”

Although Aisha Bryant and Leslie Atalese were honored on Senior
Night, it was a pair of underclassmen that stole the show.
Fueled by sophomore Kiki Conyer’s 19 points and freshman Crystal
Barriner’s 17, Appalachian State University women’s
basketball thoroughly trounced College of Charleston Saturday, 88-69.
It was easily Appalachian’s best game of the season and the
team will look to continue to build on their momentum for the conference
tournament when they host Georgia Southern University tomorrow.

The Virginia Tech Hokies were caught doing the hokie-pokie when
they were supposed to be wrestling Sunday afternoon against Appalachian
State University. The Mountaineers cruised to a 30-6 victory at
Varsity Gym.
“Our kids wrestled well,” ASU head coach Paul Mance
said. “We won some matches I didn’t think we would win.”
