CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Following a seven-match scoreless drought and a 2-1 loss to Bellarmine to open Atlantic Sun Conference play Thursday, Austin Peay State University's soccer team is set to face Eastern Kentucky for senior day, starting at 1 p.m. (CT) on Sunday at Morgan Bros. Field in Clarksville, Tennessee.

Austin Peay (0-6-3, 0-1-0 ASUN) ended its scoreless drought against Bellarmine on Thursday, with junior midfielder Vivian Burke giving the Govs their first goal on a free kick just outside the box.

With Burke's offensive spark in the Govs' last match, the team is set up for a successful run in conference play.
