Clarksville, TN – The Austin Peay State University (APSU) soccer team is set to face Morehead State this Sunday at 12:00 PM CT. This match takes place at the MSU Soccer Field in Morehead, KY.
Austin Peay is looking to bounce back after a tough 7-0 loss to No. 17 Vanderbilt. In that match, players like Taylor Grover, Sophie Davidson, and Ellie Dreas attempted shots on goal. However, they previously had a victory against Belmont, winning 1-0, thanks to Grover’s game-winning goal in the 75th minute.
Goalkeeper Lauryn Berry starred in the game against Vanderbilt, clocking nearly 67 minutes in net and achieving seven saves. This effort puts her on the verge of breaking into the top 10 for career saves at APSU.
Morehead State enters this game after losing 3-0 to Marshall. Their goalkeeper, Claire Cress, played the full 90 minutes and managed nine saves, starting with a .750 save percentage.
In terms of history, Morehead leads their all-time series against APSU 14-7-2. However, the Govs won their last encounter 2-1 at home on September 3, 2023. Over their last ten road games, Austin Peay has a record of 3-5-2.
A few interesting notes for the match:
- This game will mark the fourth time APSU has played on August 17th. They only won once before, in 2018 against Middle Tennessee State.
- A win for the Govs would mark their first victory in Morehead since September 22, 2016, and it would also give head coach Kim McGowan her 50th career win.
