Mumu Guisasola scored her first career goal, tying the score in the second half, to help the Mountaineers come back to earn a 1-1 draw on the road against Marshall.
App State (5-3-5, 2-0-3) extends its unbeaten streak to six consecutive games, the longest streak for the program since 2012.
Trailing since the eighth minute of play, App State finally broke through in the 70th minute of the contest. Off of a Shannon Studer corner kick, Guisasola leaped in the air and delivered a header just inside the near post to level the contest.
The Mountaineers were inches away from grabbing the lead just minutes later as Ellie Garrison rang a shot off the right post. Garrison led the team with four shots, while Izzi Wood added three shots. The Mountaineers held a 12-10 shot advantage in the contest, including 5-3 in shots on target.
Goalkeeper Sarah Wommack was outstanding in net. She made a leaping save in the first half to tip a Marshall (3-5-4, 1-2-3) shot over the crossbar, and then in the second half made a highlight-reel play, diving across the goal line to keep the ball from trickling across.
App State will continue its road trip next week, as the team heads to Harrisonburg, Va. for a Thursday matchup with conference-leader James Madison. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. and the match will be broadcast on ESPN+.
