“We did not execute in the first two sets and our passing was poor,” said Lady Govs head coach Taylor Mott. “We have had those problems throughout the year. It was a matter of finding our rhythm.”
SIU Edwardsville (7-13, 3-6 OVC) was on its way to a three-set victory, leading 17-14 in the third set. However, Austin Peay closed the period with an 11-5 run to extend the match with a 25-22 win. Four different Lady Govs posted a kill in the set-ending run, including three from senior Nikki Doyle.
Both teams carried their respective momentum into the fourth set which turned into a rout. The Lady Govs scored the set’s first eight points and led 20-5 after a kill by sophomore Jada Stotts. The Cougars finally gathered themselves but a 8-5 run was too little too late as Austin Peay posted the 25-13 victory.
Austin Peay closed the match with another wire-to-wire set victory. Doyle scored the set’s first three points on kills. SIU Edwardsville again helped Austin Peay with back-to-back attack errors allowing the lead to grow to 7-2. A later 4-0 APSU run was the final nail in the Cougars coffin as Austin Peay won the final set, 15-7.
“We found a way to win tonight,” said Mott. “It speaks a lot of any team that can lose the first two sets on the road and come back to win. There is plenty of volleyball to play this season but I believe this team is starting to figure out what it takes to win.”
Emma Anderson led SIU Edwardsville with 15 kills and a .364 attack percentage. Kelsey Augustine added 13 kills and a .257 attack percentage.
Austin Peay continues its four-game road trip with a 2:00pm, Saturday, OVC contest at Eastern Illinois.
