APSU Lady Govs Basketball heads to Nashville to take on the Belmont BruinsAustin Peay Lady Govs vs. Belmont BruinsSaturday, February 10th, 2014 | 6:00pm CT
![]() Senior Nicole Olszewski leads the Austin Peay Women’s Basketball team into Monday’s OVC battle at Belmont. (Brittney Sparn/APSU Sports Information) Those 23 giveaways resulted in 25 TSU points and helped bolster the Lady Tigers second-best shooting night of the campaign (53.6 percent). The loss pushed the Lady Govs back to fifth place in the overall league standings. They will face a Belmont squad that is in third place, just one-game ahead. However, the Bruins enter Monday’s contest seeking a win that would help it apply pressure to East Division leader Eastern Kentucky. Belmont returns to action after a seven-day break. The Bruins have won three straight OVC contests, including a 70-67 win at Morehead State, February 3rd. Junior guard Jordyn Luffman broke out for 25 points in that win. Her 9-of-9 outing at the free-throw line paced an impressive 22-of-23 effort by the Bruins. Austin Peay Lady Govs
Five APSU players have recorded a double-double this season, sophomore Jennifer Nwokocha leading APSU with five double-doubles. Austin Peay has snapped a pair of 10-game losing streaks during the season – a 10-game overall losing streak was stopped with a win at Morehead State, January 13th, and a 10-game home OVC losing streak was ended with a January 25th win against Tennessee Tech. Austin Peay’s non-conference strength of schedule (.544 win percentage) ranks 59th according to WBBState.com. Belmont Bruins
The Bruins lead the OVC in scoring defense, limiting league opponents to 64.6 points per game (APSU ranks 11th at 74.9 ppg). Junior guard Jordyn Luffman leads Belmont with 15.5 points per game in OVC action, ranking 11th among OVC scorers… Frankie Joubran is BU’s leading rebounder, ranking sixth in the OVC with 8.3 rebounds per league outing. An Austin Peay Win WouldBe its second straight loss… Be its third win in four tries against Belmont… Make it 3-2 against the East Division… Make it 6-7 overall and 5-2 in OVC action in true road games this season… Improve Carrie Daniels’ record to 89-153 overall and 89-79 in OVC action… Make the Lady Govs 442-625 overall since 1976-77. Defense Downed At TSUThe Lady Govs allowed TSU to shoot 53.6 percent from the floor, the third time this season an opponent has hit more than half of its shots. It was the first time APSU allowed 50 percent shooting since December 2st1 at Wichita State (56.1 percent). Nwokocha Rising
In her last five games she has averaged 13.4 points and 9.4 rebounds per game while shooting 61.4 percent from the floor (27-of-44) Efficient OffenseThe hallmark of the Lady Govs 6-1 run in OVC play was a trend towards a more efficient offense. In four of those games APSU averaged more than one point per possession, topped by its 1.161 points per possession at Southeast Missouri, February 3rd. That number was just shy of its season best 1.165 points per possession against Central Arkansas, November 30th.
