🔼 Chart Climbers. For the first time in program history, the App State Field Hockey team will have a national ranking next to their name.

The ranking follows an impressive weekend against Bellarmine and No. 18 James Madison, with the team taking wins in both contests. The Mountaineers were victorious in overtime against the Dukes, with a goal from Lise Boekaar sealing the win. The win over the Dukes marked App State's second ranked win in the last three seasons (No. 8 Louisville in 2023). 

🔼 Time To Rock Out. For the first time in nearly a month and only the second time this fall, the App State Football squad will be back at home this weekend when the Pac-12’s Oregon State Beavers arrive in Boone for a Saturday afternoon showdown.

The Beavers will be traveling more than 2,200 “air” miles from its campus in Corvallis, Ore. It will be the farthest any team has ever traveled to play in Kidd Brewer Stadium.

Kickoff is set for 3:30 pm on Saturday.

🔼 Inside The Huddle. We are just over a month away from the return of App State Men’s Basketball.

This week, we’re going inside the action as the Mountaineers prep for the upcoming 2025-26 campaign.

🔼 Connect Four. App State Men's Golf posted its second straight fourth-place tournament finish, posting an 11-under total Monday in the 15-team Ironwood Collegiate Classic hosted by East Carolina.

The Mountaineers, who were fourth in the 13-team Temple Invitational last week, had a 6-under final round as a team on the par-72 layout to post a 286-285-282—853 total.

App State benefited from top-20 finishes by Alex Martin (T-11th, 4 under), Rob Bergevin (T-11th, 4 under) and Cole Bergheim (T-18th, 3 under).
