APSU Sports: Women’s Volleyball

Murfreesboro, TN – In what proved to be a very offense-minded match, late miscues cost Austin Peay State University’s volleyball team as they dropped a three-set decision to Missouri (19-25, 22-25, 21-25), Friday afternoon, at the Murphy Center.

Austin Peay (1-4) recovered from its offensive doldrums suffered in the day’s first match, posting 39 kills and a .242 attack percentage against Missouri. The Lady Govs offense was particularly potent in the first two sets, posting 14 and 16 kills respectively, but still suffered narrow losses to a Tigers squad that was receiving votes in this week’s AVCA national poll.

Stocks finish August on upswing after wild month

By Frazier Allen | September 2, 2011 |

Clarksville, TN – A set of encouraging economic reports on Wednesday propelled stocks to their fourth straight winning session as one of the market’s wildest months ever came to a close.

The reports showed an increase in private-sector hiring, better-than-expected manufacturing activity in the Chicago area and an increase in factory orders nationwide – all good signs for investors who have alternated between fear and hope throughout the month.
