CLARKSVILLE – Austin Peay State University's volleyball senior outside hitter Brooke Moore posted a 13-kill, 16-dig performance and the Governors swept Tennessee Tech in three sets (25-21, 25-22, 25-20) to begin the delayed 2020 volleyball season, Sunday afternoon at the Winfield Dunn Center.

Austin Peay (1-0) closed strong to claim each of the first two sets. In the opening frame, it was a 7-3 run that turned an 18-18 tie into a 25-21 victory. APSU nearly repeated the feat in the second, using a 6-3 run after a 19-19 tie to secure a 25-22 win. However, the Governors left no opportunity for drama in the third, easing out to a 10-point lead at 19-9 and holding on to claim the match.

The Governors not only got the double-double effort from Moore, but also saw junior outside hitter Chloe Stitt chipped in 15 kills at a team-best .263 attack percentage to lead the offense. Sophomore setter Kelsey Mead finished with 18 assists and three service aces – both team bests. Austin Peay finished with 46 kills in the victory.

Tennessee Tech (0-1) got 11 kills from both senior outside hitter Ali Verzani and sophomore middle blocker Skylar Boom to pace an offense that finished with 40 kills.
