App State Soccer will meet Campbell on Sunday at 5 p.m. in a Colonial Athletic Association matchup held at Buies Creek, North Carolina, with the game streamed live on FloSports and Amazon Prime Video.
A rivalry that stretches back a decade
The two programs have faced each other 12 times, with Campbell holding a 3‑6‑2 edge in the all‑time series. Their most recent encounter in 2018 ended in a 3‑0 victory for the Mountaineers, a result that still fuels anticipation for the upcoming clash.
Campbell entered its season opener with a 2‑0 win over Longwood, marking the Camels' first season‑opening victory since 2018. Freshmen Anaya Jones, Yonah Dias and Campbell Sykes are slated to make their debuts for App State, adding youthful energy to the lineup.
The Mountaineers' previous game ended in a 3‑0 defeat to UNCW, a result that snapped a streak of three consecutive seasons with at least seven wins — a feat not achieved since the 2014‑16 run. Despite the setback, App State remains confident, especially after a 1‑0 triumph over Miami that delivered their first win over an ACC opponent.
Campbell's recent performance included goals from Avery Garrett and Ava Kanaar, who combined for eight shots and six corner kicks. The Camels were projected to finish fifth in the CAA South Division, but a strong start could shift expectations.
Both teams will be looking to improve their records as the season progresses, with the broadcast partnership of FloSports and Amazon Prime Video providing national visibility. The match represents a pivotal early test for App State's fresh talent and Campbell's renewed momentum.
Fans can expect a competitive contest as the Mountaineers aim to rebound from their opening loss and the Camels seek to build on their season‑opening win. The outcome could set the tone for both programs' campaigns in the CAA.
