CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University's soccer team fell to Eastern Kentucky in a one-score shutout on senior day, Sunday, at Morgan Bros. Field in Clarksville, Tennessee.

After being delayed for over an hour due to inclement weather, play resumed and began physical out of the gates. However, few fouls were issued, as Austin Peay finished the first half 5-0 in fouls over Eastern Kentucky.

The match remained scoreless until the 36th minute. Before then, the Govs had taken five shots, with three on goal. EKU's Peyton Smith delivered a pass from midfield up inside the box for Avery May, as she was able to put one into the back of the net off her right foot for the go-ahead goal.

After finishing the first 45 minutes, the Govs came out in the second half with a strong attack, putting up seven shots, with four on goal. The numbers were similar in the second half, with both teams taking seven shots. No team could put the ball in the back of the net for the remainder of the match, resulting in a 1-0 final score.

Senior forward Ellie Dreas led the Govs with three shots and a pair of shots on goal, and junior keeper Lauryn Berry collected four more saves, which put her at 136 career saves.
