CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Following a scoreless shutout against Murray State on Sunday, Austin Peay State University's soccer team will conclude its nonconference schedule against Western Kentucky, starting at 7 p.m. (CT) on Thursday at WKU Soccer Complex in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Austin Peay (0-5-2) played to its second draw of the season against Murray State on Sunday, with junior keeper Lauryn Berry leading the Govs to their second shutout of 2025. Berry matched her career-high with 11 saves on the day, which puts her six saves away from 126 career-saves, which would tie for the eighth-most by any APSU keeper in program history.
