Governors Fall 59-65 to Bisons at Home

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - Austin Peay State University women's basketball team dropped a 65-59 Atlantic Sun Conference decision to Lipscomb on Saturday at F&M Bank Arena. 

Despite Austin Peay getting on the board first, Lipscomb led by 10 at 14-4 six minutes into the first frame. A layup by Nariyah Simmons would get the Govs back within eight of the Bisons, but a layup by Elena Bertrand and a three-pointer from Jalyn Holcomb would end the first quarter with the Bisons leading 19-6. 

The two teams traded shots to begin the second quarter, but three-pointers by Nisea Burrell and La'Nya Foster got the Govs as close as six at 22-16 with three minutes remaining. After more back and forth, Molly Heard ended the first half with a three-pointer to give Lipscomb a 30-21 lead heading into the locker room. 

The Bisons extended their lead to 10 at 36-26 with 6:36 left on the clock by free throws from Heard. Consecutive layups by Abby Cater and Anala Nelson cut the Govs deficit back to six at 36-30. A three-pointer by Burrell and a jumper by Wyatt got the Governors within one at 36-35 with three minutes remaining. A three-pointer by Holcomb extended the Bisons' lead to five at 44-39 heading into the final quarter. 

Lipscomb extended their lead to 11 at 61-50 with 3:33 left in the game. An 8-2 run by the Govs would get them within four at 63-59 with 29 seconds remaining, but the Bisons would end the quarter with a successful trip to the free throw line, taking the 65-59 ASUN win.
