Clarksville, TN – For the second consecutive match, Austin Peay State University’s volleyball team went to five sets, but saw its two-match win streak stopped by Southeast Missouri (25-16, 31-33, 25-23, 16-25, 15-9), Friday night, in Ohio Valley Conference action at the Dunn Center.
Austin Peay (4-15, 2-6 OVC) continued to suffer from offensive inconsistency, winning its two sets when posting a .250 attack percentage but losing each of its three sets while being held below a .200 attack percentage. That inconsistency proved potent in the fifth set as the Lady Govs committed eight attack errors against five kills for a minus-.111 attack percentage.
The fifth set was more about Austin Peay’s inability to land a ball safely with eight errors giving Southeast Missouri more than half its points in the set. The Redhawks scored six kills and a service ace in the set to secure the win.
Senior Ilyanna Hernandez led the Lady Govs with 18 kills, a .304 attack percentage and 18 digs. Junior Nikki Doyle added 18 kills but also had 13 errors and finished with a .067 attack percentage. Freshmen Jada Stotts (11 kills) and Hillary Plybon (10) also reached double-digit kill territory.
Brittney Kalinoski had 17 kills off the bench to lead Southeast Missouri’s offense. Emily Coon finished with eight kills but had an impressive 10 blocks. Southeast Missouri finished the match with a season-high 17 blocks.
Austin Peay continues its five-match homestand with a 2:00pm, Saturday contest against Murray State.
