Austin Peay Lady Govs Basketball’s shooting drought leads to 70-56 loss to Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders
APSU Sports: Austin Peay Women’s Basketball
Murfreesboro, TN – Scoring droughts on either side of halftime doomed Austin Peay State University women’s basketball team in a 70-56 loss to Middle Tennessee, Tuesday, at the Murphy Center.

Middle Tennessee (5-3) recovered and closed the first half with a 21-7 run to take a 40-30 halftime lead. The Lady Govs offense suddenly went cold, failing to hit a field goal over a six minute span after building its five-point lead.
The second half did not start any better for Austin Peay as Middle Tennessee used a 17-7 run over the opening 8:33 to build a 20-point, 57-37, lead. The Lady Govs would steady themselves and not allow the lead to grow larger over the next four minutes.
Austin Peay’s offense would wake up again over the final 7:33, outscoring the Blue Raiders 15-5, slashing the deficit in half and settling on the final score. Senior Nicole Olszewski scored six points and senior Meghan Bussabarger added four points during the game-ending burst.
Bussabarger led Austin Peay with a 12-point, 10-rebound effort – her season’s first double-double. Nicole Olszewski finished with a team-best 14 points, four assists and four steals. Freshman Jennifer Nwokocha added 11 points and senior Leslie Martinez chipped in a 10-point, nine-rebound performance.
Ebony Rowe led Middle Tennessee with a 14-point, 14-rebound performance. Kortni Jones added a game-high 17 points and five steals.
Austin Peay returns to action when it hosts NAIA foe St. Catharine in a 4:00pm, Sunday contest at the Dunn Center.
