DAVIDSON — Appalachian State scored twice in the final 13 minutes to top Davidson 2-0 in field hockey Wednesday evening at Carol Grotnes Belk Turf Field.

With the setback, the Wildcats fell to 1-2, while App State improved to 3-0.

Brynn Shaffer gave the Mountaineers the lead in the 48th minute, off an assist from Chloe Hook. Then Hook scored against an empty net with 4:36 left to seal it.

The Wildcats posted a 10-5 advantage in shots, including 6-3 in shots-on-goal. Lourdes Wolf had two shots-on-goal, while others came from Eva van der Kooi, Sophie Rousseau and Liv Goeke. But App State's Dakota Anderson made six saves in the shutout.

It was the Wildcats' first home midweek game since 2018.
