CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University soccer begins its first of two trips to the Sunshine State when it faces Atlantic Sun Conference foe Jacksonville in a 6 p.m. (CT) Thursday match at Southern Oak Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida.

The Governors (3-6-1, 1-1 ASUN) dropped a 1-0 decision to Eastern Kentucky on the road, Sunday, following a Colonels' fifth-minute goal, while the Dolphins (2-5-2, 0-2 ASUN) are coming off a 2-0 road loss to league-leading Florida Gulf Coast.

Aniyah Mack leads APSU with four goals – tied for the third-most in the ASUN – while her eight points are tied for the seventh-most in the league.

The Govs will look for their first win in the Sunshine State in Thursday's match. APSU and JU played to a 1-1 in the only previous meeting between the two teams last season in Clarksville following a 60th-minute score by Alec Baumgardt, Oct. 6.
