CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Alec Baumgardt netted her second goal of the season in the eighth minute as Austin Peay State University's soccer team played to a 1-1 draw against Queens in Atlantic Sun Conference action, Sunday, at Morgan Bros. Soccer Field.

After a corner kick by Tori Case late in the seventh minute bounced around the goalie box, Baumgardt found the back of the net on Austin Peay's (5-9-4, 3-4-3 ASUN) second shot of the afternoon to give the Govs an early advantage against Queens (4-6-7, 2-3-6 ASUN).

The Govs tallied four-straight shots between the 20th and 27th minute, with the first two shots being blocked by a pair of Royals, and second, a header attempt by Lindsey McMahon from the left post, being saved by Queens' Erica Turner. Alana Owens also fired a shot on net in the 27th minute, but the attempt was saved by Turner as well. 

Austin Peay held its 1-0 advantage at the half, as the Govs outshot the visiting Royals, 10-5, including 5-1 in shots on goal. 

Goalkeeper Katie Bahn made a trio of saves in the opening 23 minutes of the second half to keep the Royals off the board; however, an APSU own goal in the 83rd minute tied that match, 1-1.

Neither team was able to tally an attempt in the final 7:29 despite a trio of corner kicks between the two teams, resulting in the draw. 

Austin Peay now turns its attention to a 6 p.m., Saturday match against the ASUN Regular-Season Champions, Lipscomb. With a win or draw, the Governors guarantee a spot in the 2023 Atlantic Sun Conference Championship.
