SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- The Michigan win is history.

That was clear Saturday to anyone watching the Appalachian State Mountaineers walk slowly and dejectedly out of Gibbs Stadium after their first defeat in more than a year.

Appalachian State, three weeks removed from winning at Michigan, had its 17-game winning streak snapped in a 42-31 loss to Southern Conference rival Wofford.

"We've celebrated long enough," Appalachian State coach Jerry Moore said. "It's time to gird it up and see what we've got."

Jeremy Marshall scored on a reverse and a halfback pass for the Terriers (3-1, 1-0), who took it to the Mountaineers (3-1, 0-1) from the start.

Wofford got three turnovers and held Appalachian State's powerful running game to 98 yards through the first three quarters.

Appalachian State had one last chance to extend its streak, but CoCo Hillary was stopped well short of a first down with 57.9 seconds as Wofford's players leaped wildly on the way back to the sideline.
