CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – After falling in its last two matches at home, Austin Peay State University's soccer team travels to Bear Country to face Central Arkansas with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m., Thursday, at the Bill Stephens Soccer Complex – the host site for the 2026 United Athletic Conference Soccer Championship – in Conway, Arkansas.
Austin Peay (2-11-1, 1-4) enters Thursday's match still third in the UAC Blue Division standings after playing to a 2-1 loss to Abilene Christian on Senior Day, Sunday. Senior defender Anna Drexel scored the Govs' lone goal in the 52nd minute, which was her third of the season.
