Govs Draw with Royals, Clinch Postseason Berth

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Austin Peay State University's soccer team played to a 1-1 draw against Queens, Thursday, at the Queens Sports Complex. In the result, the Governors also secured their second-straight berth in the Atlantic Sun Conference Women's Soccer Championship.

Austin Peay (6-5-5, 4-2-3 ASUN) fired the first two shots of the day in the second minute, coming off the right feet of Alana Owens and Alec Baumgardt. The attach was answered by a pair of Queens' (5-9-3, 1-5-3 ASUN) attempts in the fifth minute, but both shots were blocked by the Govs. 

Ellie Dreas and Aniyah Mack registered APSU's second and third attempts on net in the eighth and ninth minutes, respectively, but Queens' Kelsey Jargstorf stepped up to keep her sheet clean with a pair of saves.

The Royals found the back of the net on their fourth shot of the evening, with Juliana Hunter scoring the day's first goal in the 36th minute.

Despite leading the game in shots, 11-5, the Governors trailed Queens at the half following a 36th-minute Royals' score. 

The Govs third shot of the second half came on Dreas' goal in the 76th minute, with Kylie Wells connecting with the junior forward off a corner kick. Dreas' equalizer marked her fifth goal of the season, while the assist was Wells' third.

Alec Baumgardt and Queens' Girah Durant both tallied an attempt on net following Dreas' goal, but neither team was able to retake the lead.
