CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University's volleyball team dropped a three-set (17-25, 31-33, 22-25) ASUN Conference decision against Jacksonville State, Saturday, in the Winfield Dunn Center.

Tegan Seyring recorded her seventh-straight double-digit kill outing with 13 kills, but the Govs were unable to best a JSU offense that had over a .365 hitting percentage in all three sets.

After facing their largest deficit of the first set at 20-11, a 6-0 APSU run brought the Govs within three following back-to-back points by Jaida Clark. However, Jacksonville State answered the Govs' scoring streak with five-straight points to win the opening set, 25-17.

After a wire-to-wire first set, the match's second frame proved to be anything but in a set that featured five lead changes and 12 ties. 

Jacksonville State led 17-12 midway through the second frame, but had its lead trimmed to two following a 4-1 Govs' run. Mikayla Powell tied that match at 23 later in the set and the Govs' held their second lead – and first since the set's opening score – at 26-25, forcing a JSU timeout.

Austin Peay fended off four set points in the frame, but dropped the extended set, 31-33. The Govs' 31 second-set points were its sixth-most in a set in program history and the most since the Govs' 35 points in a first set against Southeast Missouri, Oct. 28, 2021.

Despite a late comeback attempt in the third set that saw the Govs score four-straight points to cut JSU's lead to 24-22, a kill on the following play resulted in the final point of the match.

The Governors travel to Conway, Arkansas for their penultimate match of the regular season in a 7 p.m., Friday contest against Central Arkansas.
