The streak is over!

[T-Dog]

Tonight had App State's first men's basketball conference tournament championship since 2000.

But some people don't know that was also the last time App State won ANY conference tournament since then. Volleyball, Men's Soccer, Women's Soccer, Men's Basketball, Field Hocket, Women's Basketball, Women's Tennis, Men's Tennis, Softball, Baseball. No conference tournament titles in any of them

Granted, this is offset by sports that don't have conference tournaments, like Cross Country, Football, Wrestling (individual, not team) and Track and Field, where App has scores of conference titles.

I kept track of this because its quite incredible. The streak lasted 21 years.

WOW! This is amazing. Thank you Coach Kerns and our Muck it up Mountaineers! Bigger than any of us realized. Keep it Rolling ‘Neers!

[McLeansvilleAppFan]

Wrestling has a bracketed championship and App won in 2000-2001, 02-03, 15-16, 17-18.

Hard to forget that 2003 NorPac Field Hockey tourney.

As individual tournaments where there's a team score kept, thus not a conference tournament.

If it was a dual team competition, then yes.

[McLeansvilleAppFan]

Hard to forget that 2003 NorPac Field Hockey tourney.

It seems like it was yesterday. 2-1 loss in OT
We had an opportunity to win the game in overtime when the we were awarded a penalty stroke at 79:01 but Stanford goalkeeper Emily Zander made a diving save on the stroke attempt by NorPac scoring leader Nara Brookes.

I was thinking the Sun Belt ran tennis the same as wrestling in the SoCon but I they are dual meets with the team advancing or not.

[Yosef84]

It's an interesting academic argument that App hasn't won a "tournament" in 21 years, but it seems kind meaningless to subdivide championships based on format. Different sports lend themselves to different formats. When the championship is determined on the field of competition (as they all are now that football has a CCG), it's all good to me. Effectively, football now has a tournament, but there are only two teams that qualify.

[Yosef84]

"Tournament: a series of games or contests that make up a single unit of competition (as on a professional golf tour), the championship playoffs of a league or conference, or an invitational event."

Based on this definition, the championships for wrestling, track & field, gold, etc. all qualify as tournaments. The CCG of football might not since it does state "series".

And football has won three national tournaments.
