Austin Peay State University Athletics

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Terry Taylor, of the Austin Peay State University men’s basketball team, has been named this week’s Copies In A Flash APSU Athlete of the Week.

The Bowling Green native earned his league-record tying 15^th Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Week honor after his destruction of Eastern Illinois on Saturday. Taylor was a one-man wrecking crew who willed the Govs to victory against the Panthers, pouring in 38 points and grabbing 17 rebounds—both single-game highs by an OVC player this season. For good measure, he banked home the game-winning three as time expired to send the Govs home as winners. He also secured his 50th double-double as a Gov, making him one of 16 Division I players since 2010 with 50 double-doubles for his career.

In addition to his status as league player of the week, Taylor earned Lute Olson National Player of the Week honors from CollegeInsider.com for the second time this season and third in his career.

Other notable performances by Austin Peay athletes included:

• Junior wing Maggie Knowles, of the women’s basketball team, averaged 13.6 points in a trio of Austin Peay wins last week to keep the Govs unbeaten in conference play. She hit 13 of her 14 shots made last week from beyond the arc, knocking down an average 4.3 three-pointers per game for the week and 4.2 for the season.
