Foster Leads Govs to Victory at High Point

High Point, N.C. - Led by La'Nya Foster's 24-point performance, the Austin Peay State University women's basketball team took a 59-46 win against High Point at the Quebin Center. 

Austin Peay and High Point traded shots to open the first quarter, tying them at 6 with 7:21 in the frame. The Governors had four consecutive three-pointers from Foster, Jordan Boddie, and Nariyah Simmons to go up 15-6 with three minutes left to play. Another three by Simmons ended the quarter for the Govs, giving them a 20-17 lead. 

The Governors held the Panthers to just four points in the second quarter, allowing them to take a 32-17 lead. A three-pointer by Simmons two minutes into the second frame extended the Govs' lead to 23-15. This sparked a 12-2 run from the Govs, giving them a 15-point lead going into halftime. 

High Point battled back in the third, outscoring the Govs 19-17. Austin Peay led by as many as 21 at 47-26. The Panthers ended the third quarter with a 10-2 run to cut their deficit to as few as 13 at 49-36 going into the final quarter. 

Consecutive three-pointers by HPU's Scott and Baskerville got the Panthers within single digits of the Governors at 53-44 with five minutes left in the game. A 6-2 run by the Governors ended the game, giving the Govs their fourth win.
