CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University's soccer team played to a 2-1 loss at North Alabama Thursday, and looks to wrap up its road stretch with some points at Central Arkansas, starting at 1 p.m. (CT) on Sunday at the Bill Stephens Soccer Complex in Conway, Arkansas.
Austin Peay (0-9-3, 0-4-0 ASUN) fell to North Alabama, Thursday, despite the Govs scoring their second goal of the season. Freshman midfielder Abby Mathews scored the equalizer in the 49th minute for her first-career goal. The Govs look to bring the offense to Conway, to a team that has allowed just 13 goals this season.
Central Arkansas (4-7-0, 1-3-0 ASUN) is coming off a 2-1 loss at home against Gold Division leader Lipscomb on Thursday. The Bears claimed their first Atlantic Sun Conference victory at Bellarmine (Sept. 28) a week ago. Those three points from the win are all that separate the Govs from the No. 5 spot in the Gold Division standings.
