CLARKSVILLE - Austin Peay State University will host its annual Fall Sports Fan Day, from 2 -4 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 26, at the Red Barn (Memorial Health Building).

Fall Sports Fan Day is a free event open to the public giving fans of all ages a chance to meet players and coaches from Governors football, Lady Govs soccer and volleyball, as well as the men and women's cross country teams. Unlike last year's Fan Day in the Dunn Center, there will not be a formal presentation, allowing fans more time to mingle with teams.

Govs football will be preparing for its season-opening game at Western Kentucky, Sept. 1, in Bowling Green, Ky. Austin Peay most recently had senior wide receiver Devin Stark earn preseason All-America honors from the FCS Senior Bowl, while senior safety Antwaun Majors also was named preseason All-OVC by Phil Steele Magazine.

The Lady Govs already have opened their 2012 campaign with a road split, falling at Southeastern Conference member Arkansas but winning 3-1 at Arkansas-Little Rock.

Austin Peay soccer opens its home schedule at 7 p.m., Friday, Aug. 24, when it hosts Appalachian State at Morgan Brothers Soccer Field.

Lady Govs volleyball will be fresh off the season-opening Memphis Invitational.
