Sophomore forward Libby Bermingham led App State Soccer to a 3-1 victory over Campbell, scoring both the go-ahead goal and a second in quick succession during the second half. This win marks App State's first of the season, improving their record to 1-1-0. The Mountaineers initially opened scoring with a goal from Reagan Sturgill, but Campbell equalized before Bermingham's quick brace clinched the game.

By the Numbers
  • App State had 16 total shots, with 6 on target.
  • Bermingham recorded 5 shots, 3 of which were on goal.
Yes, But

While Bermingham's performance was stellar, it raises questions about maintaining offensive consistency beyond just one player, especially after a slow start in the first half of the match.

State of Play
  • The Mountaineers are now 1-1-0 after securing their first win of the season.
  • They will face Western Carolina next, who are also 1-1-0 following a home loss.
What's Next

App State will host Western Carolina on Thursday, where a strong home crowd and special promotions like a vuvuzela giveaway could boost team morale and support.

Bottom Line

For App State Soccer to build on this victory, it will be crucial to develop a more balanced attack and ensure contributions from multiple players as they head into future matches.
