4x400 meter A-10 Championship

Chloe Welch's 18-straight points at App State
-Chloes scored 18 straight points in the second half of Women's Basketball's victory at App State, finishing with 32 points.

-Her goal allowed us to tie the game and clinch a point to earn our first ever berth to the A10 Tournament and a 3rd overall seed.

-In the bottom of the 11th inning, Candelaria hit a walk-off 2-run homer to center field, the Wildcats' fifth of the day, to defeat Toledo 16-14.
