Clarksville, TN – Sophomore Tiasha Gray recorded the first triple-double in program history to lead Austin Peay State University women’s basketball team past Trevecca, 98-77, Monday night in non-conference action at the Dunn Center.
Austin Peay (2-2) traded baskets with Trevecca over the opening three minutes with all five ties and two lead changes taking place during those opening minutes.
The Lady Govs gained control of the contest with an 8-0 run over the next three minutes, with senior guard Nicole Olszewski, freshman Beth Rates and junior Kristen Stainback each hitting a pair of free throws to build the 17-9 APSU lead at the 13:35 mark.
The Lady Govs pushed their lead to 10 points in the next three-minute stanza, freshman Tearra Banks’ jumper at the 10:23 mark giving APSU a 25-15 advantage. The Austin Peay lead would hit 14 points before Trevecca pushed back.
Trevecca (1-1) scored six straight points, including four straight by Christina Curtner, to cut APSU’s lead to eight points, 31-23, with 7:19 remaining in the half. The Trojans would get as close as five points with three minutes left but Austin Peay scored nine straight points to halt the Trevecca momentum and took a 47-36 lead into halftime.
Austin Peay’s lead would never fall back into single digits during the second half. However, the Lady Govs did not extend their lead to 20 points until Nicole Olszewski’s jumper with 6:16 left for an 83-63 advantage. The APSU lead would reach 25 points before head coach Carrie Daniels emptied her bench for the final 3:33.
Curtner led Trevecca with 28 points on 10-of-15 shooting, including 4-of-6 from three-point range. Anna Mitchell added 13 points and a team-best six rebounds.
Austin Peay, which snapped a nine-game home losing streak with Monday’s win, continues its five-game homestand with a 7:00pm, Saturday contest against Evansville.
