MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University's volleyball team took a 3-0 loss (25-20, 25-21, 25-21) to Memphis to finish the Carrie Yerty Classic, Saturday, at the Larry O. Finch Center.

Memphis ended the set on a 6-1 run, winning the set 25-20 and giving them the early lead. 

The Governors took the early lead to start the second set, leading by as many as five at 11-6 thanks to a kill by Gabriella MacKenzie. Memphis responded with a 6-1 run, tying the set at 17-17, forcing a Gov timeout. Memphis held on to their momentum. Ending the set on a 8-3 run, taking the second set, 25-21. 

APSU trailed early on in the third set, but managed to tie the Tigers at 19-19 from a Payton Deidesheimer block. A kill by Aubrey Stitcher gave the Govs their sole lead of the set at 20-19, but the Tigers went on a 4-1 run, winning the third set 25-21.
