CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Led by a career-high 24 points by Rashaud Marshall, Austin Peay State University's basketball team had six score in double figures as the Governors ended nonconference play with a 110-59 victory against Fisk, Sunday, on Gary Mathews Court at F&M Bank Arena.

In the victory, Austin Peay (6-5) notched its second 100-point game of the season, with its 110 points tied for the 21st highest-scoring game in program history. APSU also secured a winning record in nonconference play for the first time since 2020, while its perfect home mark during the pre-conference slate marks the 16th time in program history.

Six Governors in double figures are the most since 2022, with Matt Enright (16), Collin Parker (14), Tyler Wagner (13), Ja'Corey Robinson (13), and Zyree Collins (10), following Marshall in the scoring column. The performances by Enright, Wagner, and Robinson marked each of their second-highest scoring games of the season.

Austin Peay shot 49.3% (37-75) from the floor in the win and won the rebounding battle, 48-32, with a 17-9 advantage on the offensive glass, which propelled it to a season-high 28 second-chance points.

The Governors opened the game on a 9-0 run, with Marshall supplying six of APSU's first nine points. The 6-8 forward later made his fourth-straight attempt to extended the lead to 20-9 less than six minutes in.

Fisk cut its deficit to seven midway through the opening half, but six-straight points by Marshall, followed by a Parker basket and back-to-back threes by Wagner, extended the lead back to double 10 points three minutes later.

Wagner scored six points in the final 7:16 of the opening period, with his final basket giving APSU an 18-point lead with 2:25 to play.

The Govs led 16 through 20 minutes, with Marshall and Parker pacing the team with 16 and 11, respectively, while Brookshire had nine assists in 17 minutes of action.

Five minutes into the second half, Austin Peay more than doubled its 16-point advantage, with a pair of Collins free throws ending a 19-2 run to begin the period after forcing seven-straight Fisk misses from the field, and the Govs going 6-for-10 with a pair of triples during that span. APSU also forced nine Fisk turnovers during the run.

Less than four minutes after its scoring spree, the Govs scored 17-straight points in a three-and-a-half-minute span, with seven of those points coming from the charity stripe.

After maintaining no less than a 47-point lead for the final 8:11 of the contest, a pair of Terrell Gaines free throws with 55 seconds to play proved to be the final points of the contest, as Austin Peay earned its second win of more than 50 points this season.
