CLARKSVILLE – Sophomore Brooke Moore posted 11 kills and led Austin Peay State University's volleyball team to a three-set sweep (25-15, 25-19, 25-12) of Alabama A&M, Tuesday night, at the Winfield Dunn Center.

Austin Peay (8-1), playing at home for the first time this season, had eight different hitters record a kill and 11 players recorded a point in the victory. Moore finished with a team-best 13 points, adding a service ace and a block to her night's tally. The Governors also posted 11 service aces, junior Ginny Gerig and freshmen Karli Graham leed that effort with three aces each.

Alabama A&M (3-9) was led by Terra Brooks' 13-kill performance. The Bulldogs would lead early in the first and second sets, but their largest lead was only three points early in the second set.

The Governors return to the road for their next five matches, beginning with this weekend's trip to Houston, Texas for the Rice adidas® Invitational. Austin Peay will face Ole Miss, McNeese and Rice in the three-match event.
