The game's first goal came only three minutes into the game. It was EIU's first real scoring chance as Caitlyn Eisenhauer dropped a short ball to Michelle Steinhaus, which she bounced in off the left goal post for a quick 1-0 lead. Steinhaus finished with a game high two shots on goal for EIU. Alexis Miller netted the insurance goal in the 74th minute on a corner kick that got by the keeper.

Sophomore keeper Michelle Smith finished with five saves ? all in the first half. Junior Elyse Lovelace had a team-best three shots, while four other Lady Govs had a shot. Only freshman Monique Wong and junior Ashley Michels put a shot a goal.

In addition to Steinhaus, who leads EIU with five goals, Rachel Hamilton had a game-high four shots. Four other Panthers had two or more shots. Keeper Jenny Williams earned her 12th career shutout, making a pair of stops in net.

Austin Peay returns to action with a 6 p.m., Tuesday, non-conference tilt with Lambuth at Morgan Brothers Soccer Field.
