CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - Sa'Mya Wyatt and La'Nya Foster combined for 34 points, but the Governors fell 65-61 to Jacksonville on Saturday at F&M Bank Arena. 

Austin Peay (9-8, 4-2 ASUN) took early control of the game, going up by nine at 17-8 with three minutes remaining. A three-pointer by Jacksonville's Isamery Telleria would get the Dolphins as close as six points to the Govs at 17-11, but the Govs' 7-2 run, including a three-pointer at the buzzer by Sa'Mya Wyatt, would end the quarter with the Govs leading, 24-13. 

The Govs held Jacksonville scoreless for nearly four minutes in the second quarter, allowing them to lead by 18 at 35-17 with 2:20 left in the first half. A three-pointer from Jacksonville's Priscilla Williams would cut the Dolphin's deficit to 14 at 35-19, but a layup by Jeanine Brandsma would end the first half with the Govs leading 39-23.

Jacksonville opened the third frame on a 7-2 run, cutting their trail to 13 at 43-30 with six and a half minutes on the clock. Austin Peay entered a scoring drought from 6:00-1:01 that ended with Anala Nelson's three-pointer. A layup by Jacksonville's Saniyah Craig ended the frame and cut their deficit to 14 at 48-34. 

The Dolphins opened the fourth quarter on an 18-4 run, allowing them to get within one of the Govs at 52-51 with 4:14 left to play. A jumper by Foster gave the Govs a three-point lead at 54-51, but Williams drew a foul on a layup and completed the three-point play to tie the game at 54.
