The Lady Govs needed less than six minutes to push out to a 17-5 lead, thanks in large part to seven points from senior Kristen Stainback, and never looked back.

The second half was a sloppier affair as the Lady Govs committed 13 turnovers in the half and they still could not control the rebounding under Brescia’s glass, allowing eight offensive rebounds. Austin Peay was able to push its lead to 40 points, but could not extend the lead past that point as the messy play undermined its offense.
