CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Seniors Mikayla Powell and Tegan Seyring both totaled 11 kills and no errors as Austin Peay State University's volleyball team earned a straight-set ASUN Conference victory (25-15, 25-16, 25-18) against Queens, Saturday, at Curry Arena.
Austin Peay (11-12, 4-8 ASUN) jumped out to a 10-3 lead to force an early Queens (6-19, 1-11 ASUN) timeout in the first set, and led by at least six points throughout the frame en route to its first of two wire-to-wire victories. Powell and Seyring led APSU with five kills, while the Govs' setter tandem of senior Kelsey Mead and Janvier Buggs had eight and six assists, respectively.
The Royals led 6-3 early in the second set, before a 4-1 APSU run tied the frame at seven. A kill by freshman Sarah Carnathan gave the Govs a 15-11 advantage at the media timeout and the Govs held momentum throughout the frame, extending their lead following a 25-16 second-set victory.
Seyring, Powell and sophomores Elizabeth Wheat and Jaida Clark combined for 17 kills, no errors and a .586 attack percentage in the second set.
The Govs cruised to a 25-18 straight-set victory in the third frame, leading APSU to its fourth three-set victory of the season.
Clark led the Govs with 12 kills, while Seyring and Powell combiend for 12 kills and a .611 attack percentage.
Seyring's .846 attack percentage on 13 swings against the Royals tied former teammate Claire for the most efficient night in program history.
