Second-Half Goal Not Enough in Loss to Ball State

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University's soccer team scored a goal seconds into the second half, but it was not enough as the Governors dropped a 2-1 decision to Ball State, Thursday, at Morgan Bros. Field. 

Ball State (3-2) scored on their fourth shot of the afternoon off a shot by BSU's Rachel Avery from distance to break the ice. The Cardinals then extended the advantage in the 22nd minute with a score y Delaney Caldwell.

The two sides traded attempts to no avail in the remaining 23 minutes, as Ball State took a 2-0 lead into the break.

Austin Peay (2-3-1) got on the board 44 seconds into the second half, with Alec Baumgardt sliding to tap in the ball among a conglomerate of players. 

After the Govs' goal, Ball State tallied each of the final 10 shots of the match, but was unable to again extend the lead, resulting the 2-1 final.
