Cookeville, TN – Make it five-straight wins for Austin Peay women’s basketball team. The Lady Govs controlled the second half and worked their way to a 63-57 Ohio Valley Conference win at Tennessee Tech.

With the Lady Govs trailing 55-54 and 1:46 left, Hanley knocked down a three to put her team ahead by one point. Then with four seconds left, Hanley buried a pair of free throws to set the game’s final margin.

Govs rally to down Crusaders in 11 innings

February 19, 2011 |

APSU Men’s Baseball

Clarksville, TN – Left fielder Cody Hudson’s soft liner in the 11th inning sailed just high enough to get over the drawn-in infield and Austin Peay’s baseball team won a wild 11-10 non-conference tilt against Valparaiso, Saturday afternoon at Raymond C. Hand Park.

Trailing 7-4 entering the eighth, Austin Peay (2-0) showed that patience at the plate pays off. Valparaiso (0-2) used four pitchers in the inning and issued six walks to the 11 batters they faced. Consecutive bases-loaded walks issued to shortstop Reed Harper and first baseman John Hogan gave the Govs their first lead. Following the back-to-back walks, designated hitter Tyler Childress added to the lead as he ripped the first pitch he saw to left field, scoring two more runs and giving the Govs a 10-7 lead.
