Austin Peay (11-12) knew senior outside hitter Nikki Doyle would be the focus of the opponent’s defense after her 34-kill performance against Middle Tennessee, Wednesday. Eastern Illinois (4-16) proved that thought correct as the Panthers defense keyed on Doyle all night, limiting her to 11 kills and a modest .121 attack percentage.

The Lady Govs responded by balancing their attack with senior opposite hitter Alex Sain picking up the biggest part of the load with 11 kills and an impressive .476 attack percentage. Junior middle blocker Lauren Henderson and sophomore outside hitter Jada Stotts each added nine kills.

Austin Peay trailed the first set 22-20 before rallying to score five of the final six points, including three kills by Sain, to win 25-23. After winning the second set in wire-to-wire fashion, the Lady Govs trailed 22-21 in the third set before scoring the final four points to close the match.

Eastern Illinois was held to 34 kills, Reynae Hutchinson leading the offensive with nine kills. The Panthers were able to post a dominating 11-6 advantage in blocks, with Stephanie Arnold leading the effort with five blocks.

Austin Peay returns to action when it hosts SIU Edwardsville in a 2:00pm, Saturday contest.
