Martinez scored 13 points in the first half, including consecutive six points during a 14-4 run that gave Austin Peay (5-9, 0-2 OVC) a 17-9 lead with 13:49 remaining. Martinez would later hit a three-pointer that pushed the Lady Govs lead to nine points, 26-17, with 7:48 left in the half.

UT Martin (7-10, 2-1 OVC) stiffened its defense at that moment and found its stride offensively. The Skyhawks would hold the Lady Govs to one field goal the half’s remainder and closed the period with a 21-2 run.

Leslie MartinezThe Skyhawks would extend that run into the second half and ultimately produced an incredible 44-8 scoring burst that lasted 16 minutes and ended with UTM holding a decisive 61-34 advantage at the 11:49 mark of the second half.

Austin Peay was ineffective at the offensive end of the court during the run, making just 4-of-21 from the floor and committing 12 turnovers. The situation proved dire enough for head coach Carrie Daniels to pull her entire starting five at the 17:05 mark of the second half.

Nicole OlszewskiMartinez was the only Austin Peay player to reach double-digit scoring territory. Three Lady Govs – junior Nicole Olszewski and seniors Meghan Bussabarger and Kaitlyn Hill, finished with eight points each.

UT Martin’s Heather Butler led all scorers with 32 points, including 19 in the second half. Jasmine Newsome added 21 points while Sydney Vanlandingham and Rickiesha Bryant had 10 points each.

Austin Peay returns to action when it hosts Murray State in a 5:15pm, Saturday contest to start a four-game homestand at the Dunn Center.
