CONFER CORNER
"We have been improving each game and we are starting to see some good things from our team. Playing on the road is always a challenge and we know we will have to turn in two solid performances to get results during this trip. Appalachian State is off to a good start this season and they do a good job of protecting their home field. South Carolina State is very organized and will be a tough, physical opponent. We will have to be focused and ready for both matches." - Head Coach Robin Confer
