LITTLE ROCK – Sun Belt Conference-leading Little Rock women's basketball (10-8, 7-0 Sun Belt) will once again hit the road as it travels to Boone, North Carolina, to face Appalachian State (5-14, 3-5 Sun Belt) on Thursday at the Holmes Convocation Center. The game will air live on ESPN3 at 4 p.m. (CT).
 
Little Rock is a perfect 7-0 against Appalachian State since their first meeting in Jan. 2015. Last season in Boone, the Trojans defeated the Mountaineers 77-69 to take a 3-0 record when playing at the Holmes Convocation Center. Each of the last two meetings at App State have been decided by 10 points or less.
 
The Mountaineers come into the weekend with two consecutive losses to South Alabama and Troy on the road. App State has a short week to prepare for Little Rock as it played Troy on Monday after the scheduled Thursday game was postponed due to inclement travel conditions.
