Austin Peay State University Soccer Tops Stetson 2-1, Remains Unbeaten in Five Straight

Clarksville, TN – For the first time since 2021, the Austin Peay State University (APSU) soccer team is on a five-match unbeaten streak following a 2-1 Atlantic Sun Conference victory against Stetson, Thursday, at Morgan Brothers Field.

Lindsey McMahon and Kiley Reese both netted their second goals of the season in Austin Peay’s (6-4-4, 4-1-2 ASUN) win against Stetson (7-8, 2-5 ASUN).

McMahon headed in the day’s first goal in the 32nd minute off a Kylie Wells corner, heading in the score. The goal marked McMahon’s first goal since September 1st at Lindenwood, while Wells’ assist marked her second in as many matches.  

Stetson tied the match four minutes later on a 36th-minute score by Georgia Place, and the score stood going into the half with both sides deadlocked at one. 

After a foul in the box, Reese took to the penalty spot for the second time this season and did exactly what she did last time she stood on the dot: score.

Reese’s score, proved to be the game-winner, as Austin Peay State University earned its second-straight win and extended its unbeaten streak to five.
