The coaching staff expects a lot out of this year’s senior class and the season. With six seniors, the squad has a lot of leadership and high expectations for themselves. The Mountaineers return seven starters from last season’s team that went 7-10-2, but lost six games by one goal. Senior forward Caroline Lowe returns after leading ASU in assists and points last season. She ranks in the top-10 in four Caroline Clarke career categories, ranking 10th with 10 goals, fifth in assists with 11, ninth with 31 points and sixth with 140 career shots. The coaching staff expects a lot out of Lowe as one of its veteran attackers. After scoring just 17 goals a year ago, the staff is looking for a big improvement from the offense. Also back in the lineup is Jennifer MacNeill, who only played in eight games last season due to an injury. MacNeill gives Appalachian another solid offensive option up front. appeared in all 19 games a year ago, starting in seven and Freshmen Lindsey Packard, Ruthie Lile and Meggie scoring one goal.

Junior Lindsay Jaffe one. Balzano finished third on the team in points with eight returns after starting 17 games last season. Sophomore Katy (3 G, 2A) while Morrow added a goal and an assist. Bringing Dodd started 12 games at forward a year ago, but will move to more depth to the position is sophomore Amber Hill, who the back to shore up the defense. The coaches’ feel the back line is solid with Leigh Morrow leading the way. Dodd will move to the back line as well as sophomore Amber Hill. Nicole Martinez adds depth to the back line that lost two starters from last season, but freshmen Jaclyn Coggins, Brooke Davidson, Christina Gilboy, Michelle Jewell, Leah McCann and Sam McVeigh look to fill in the gaps. The final wall in the ASU defense appears to have a load of depth with three goalkeepers that have started a combined 62 games in goal. Caroline Clarke started all 19 games for ASU a year ago, picking up seven wins with a 1.31 goals against average. Senior Emma White has started 32 games and in her career has a GAA of 1.25. Junior Ashley Scott provides a solid third option. A transfer a year ago from Gardner-Webb, she started five games as a freshman for the Bulldogs and provides even more depth at the position. Appalachian opens the season on the road Friday, Aug. 28 at Charlotte and hosts UNC Asheville in the home opener Sunday, Aug. 30. The Mountaineers host Georgia Southern on Sept. 25 in the SoCon opener and follow that up with a home match against Davidson on Sept. 25.

Throughout its history, the Southern Conference has been an innovator in college athletics. The Southern Conference was the first “super conference” with its charter membership including the likes of Alabama, Auburn, and North Carolina. The SoCon, as it has come to be known by headline writers throughout the country, is the league that gave birth to the three-point shot in college basketball and was the college home of such sporting greats as Arnold Palmer, Jerry West and Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless times on CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes-Scholarship winners have been selected from the conference. The Southern Conference office is located in the Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, SC. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the SoCon a first class meeting area as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that spans five Southeastern states. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Chattanooga, Samford, Western Carolina and Wofford. The SoCon also sponsors two all-sports awards, the Commissioner's Cup for men's programs and the Germann SoCon Directory Cup for women's teams. In 2008, Appalachian claimed 702 North Pine Street its 28th Commissioner’s Cup since 1972 and has won the Spartanburg, S.C. 29303 Germann Cup eight times in school history. Commissioner......
