NASHVILLE— Austin Peay State University's volleyball team picked up its ninth-straight win over Tennessee State with a three-set Ohio Valley Conference victory (25-18, 25-19, 25-23) at Kean Hall that saw graduate student Brooke Moore become the Governors all-time leader in matches played.

Moore entered the weekend series against the Tigers tied with APSU alumna Sammie Ebright (2013-16) for most matches played in a career and passed the mark with her start against TSU, Friday

After the three-set victory, Moore is tied with Stephanie Garrard (1990-93) for most sets played in a career with 498.

The Govs offense was led by junior right-side hitter Mikayla Powell, whose 11 kills marked the fourth-straight match the reigning OVC Newcomer of the Week has reached the double-digit kill mark this season.  Powell's .476 hitting percentage against the Tigers was the fifth time she has posted over .400 in a match this year.

After a season-high 12 service aces against Murray State Wednesday, the Govs had seven aces against Tennessee State and were led by three apiece from Moore and Marlayna Bullington. It is the eighth time this season Austin Peay has posted seven more aces in a match.

Austin Peay looks to finish its weekend sweep of the Tigers at noon, Saturday, before returning home to host Belmont, Oct. 22-23.
