The Last Waltz: Govs host Bisons for final regular season game in the Winfield Dunn Center

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University women's basketball team hosts Lipscomb for the final regular season game in the Winfield Dunn Center at 3 p.m., Saturday.

The game is the second time Austin Peay (16-10, 12-5 ASUN) has played Lipscomb (18-10, 12-4 ASUN) in the last 48 hours, as the Governors secured their 12th ASUN Conference win of the season and a home game in the upcoming ASUN Tournament following Thursday's 76-71 victory against the Bisons.

Mariah Adams scored a team-high 23 points in the win – the second-best scoring performance by a Governor this season – which included 13 points in the fourth quarter alone.

The Govs are currently in fourth place in the ASUN standings and moves ahead of Lipscomb with a win, Saturday. APSU would secure the tournament's No. 3 seed if league-leading Florida Gulf Coast defeats the Bisons next Wednesday.

In addition to Austin Peay celebrating its home for the last 48 years, it also will be celebrating its seven seniors – Mariah Adams, Shamarre Hale, Mahogany Vaught, Jada Roberson, Liz Gibbs, Tiya Douglas, Gabby Zapata Smalls – prior to tipoff. Senior Day presentations will begin at approximately 2:40 p.m.
