Austin Peay State University Athletics

Clarksville, Tenn. – Sophomore midfielder Morgan Drawdy, of the Austin Peay State University women’s soccer team, has been named the Copies in a Flash APSU Athlete of the Week.

Drawdy’s brace in the Governors win against Chattanooga came via 51^st-minute volley on a cross from sophomore Katie Kenward, then she netted the game-winner for the Govs in the 64^th minute to put the Govs ahead for good.

The Anacortes, Washington native’s second and third goals of the season equaled her career in last season’s match against Jacksonville State and helped the 2017 All-Ohio Valley Conference honoree earn her first career adidas® OVC Women’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week honor.

The Copies in a Flash APSU Athlete of the Week is selected by the APSU Sports Information staff each Wednesday during the academic year. Copies in a Flash, of Clarksville, sponsors the award.
