| Students stormed Kidd
Brewer Stadium following the 28-21 win over the
Georgia Southern University Eagles Saturday. Fans
transported the goal post through a window of the
Eagles' bus to Duck Pond. The victory altered the
balance of power in Southern Conference play. |
The sound heard echoing throughout Kidd
Brewer Stadium was more than just the snap of a goalpost
on its way to Duck Pond.
It was also the balance of power in the
Southern Conference shifting toward Appalachian State University.
Appalachian head coach Jerry Moore, who
battled pneumonia all week, said he could not feel any better
about his team’s 28-21 victory over Georgia Southern
or his team’s perseverance after starting the season
1-3.
“A month ago everyone was jumping
off our boat,” Moore said.
“You could hear them splashing here,
there, and everywhere. Now there are a few people crawling
back on.”
Facing their second top-10 team in two
weeks, the Mountaineers began the game in a 3-5 defensive
set in hopes of outsmarting and containing the Eagles’
option.

وو Appalachian State University Women’s
volleyball failed to move into first place in the North Division
of the Southern Conference, dropping the last three games
(25-30, 30-27, 30-13, 30-25) and suffering a 3-1 loss to
Georgia Southern University Sunday at Holmes Convocation
Center.
The Mountaineers got off to a quick start,
running the Eagles all over the court in a 14-4 start. Ga.
Southern fought back to pull to within four points, but after
a timeout by Mountaineer head coach Chad Callihan, Appalachian
won 30-25.
The Mountaineers and Eagles fought tooth
and nail in the second game, tying at eight before ASU put
on an 8-4 run. Ga. Southern fought back to go up 22-19 before
the teams tied again at 24. The Eagles then went on a 6-3
spurt to win the game.
