Second-half goals knock off Govs in Nashville

NASHVILLE – Austin Peay State University's soccer team was unable to overcome a pair of second-half goals and dropped a 2-0 decision to Belmont, Thursday at E.S. Rose Park.

Austin Peay (3-6-2, 0-2) goalkeeper Peyton Powell kept the score even early, making two of her four first-half saves in the first 14 minutes of the match to keep Belmont (5-4-1, 2-0) off the scoreboard. However, the Governors responded to the early Belmont shots on target with Alec Baumgardt and Claire Larose firing shots on goal in the 15th and 17th minutes, respectively.

After a scoreless first half, Belmont took the first shot on goal of the second frame, but Powell was there to make her fifth and final save of the night. The Bruins were able to find the back of the net in the 66th and 77th minutes with goals from Natalie Haverland and Mai Nguyen, respectively.

Trailing 2-0, Delanie McKeon fired the Govs final shot on goal of the match in the 78th minute, but she was unable to best Belmont goalkeeper Andrea Leitner and Austin Peay dropped its second-straight match to start Ohio Valley Conference play.
