CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University's soccer team was unable to overcome a trio of second-half goals in a 3-0 decision against Chattanooga, Sunday, at Morgan Bros. Soccer Field.
Austin Peay (0-1-3) goalkeeper Chloé Dion was pressured early, with four of her five first-half saves coming by the 15th minute. The Mirabel, Québec native kept a clean sheet in the first half, despite the Govs being outshot, 8-0.
After a scoreless first half, Chattanooga (1-2-1) fired their first shot of the second period in the second frame, but Dion was there to make her sixth and final save of the night.
The Mocs breakthrough score came in the 66th minute, followed by back-to-back goals in the 75th and 76th minutes. The Govs fired three shots in the final 13 minutes, but were unable to best Chattanooga's goalkeeper, dropping their first match of the season.
