Berry’s Career Day Leads Govs to Scoreless Shutout at Home

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University's soccer team played to a scoreless shutout against Murray State following a career day in the net for junior keeper Lauryn Berry, Sunday, at Morgan Bros. Field in Clarksville, Tennessee.

The first 45 minutes between the Govs and the Racers resulted in a scoreless tie after both teams carried a similar momentum through the first half of play. Despite the Racers outshooting the Govs 11-4 during that time, the Govs put a lot of pressure on Murray State and put them on the defensive through the middle of the half, as Paige Chrustowski, Kylie Brandes, Vivian Burke, and Carolyne Young all took good looks at the net.

Just 10 minutes into the second half, Young put another shot on goal, which was deflected off the Racers' keeper, Breece Bass, before Chrustowski put a right-footer off the right post in the 56th minute.

The Racers would carry the offensive momentum throughout the remainder of the match, taking 16 more shots. At the same time, Berry corralled six saves – including a game saver in the 88th minute to preserve the shutout – to finish the match.

Chrustowski and Young would finish the day leading the Govs with two shots and a shot on goal each. And freshman defender McKenna Hogan would be the only Governor outside the net to see all 90 minutes on the pitch.

Berry matched her career-high with 11 saves in the contest and recorded her second shutout of the season. She now has 120 career saves, which puts her just six away from tying Michelle Smith (2006-08) and Chloé Dion (2019-22) in the No. 8 spot with 126.

Inside The Box Score

  • Hogan was the only Governor to play all 90 minutes.
