Akron (5-3) took control of the first two sets early on. The Zips first set win saw them counter a 4-0 Austin Peay run with a 5-0 run of its own to take a 9-7 lead it would not relinquish.

Senior outside hitter Jada Stotts followed with another kill to give APSU set point at 25-24. However, the Lady Govs could not capitalize while Akron scored the match’s final three points, including a pair of service aces.

Junior setter Aubrey Marsellis was named to the all-tournament team after  leading the Lady Govs with 107 assists (7.64 per set) and seven service aces.

APSU's Liz Landon“We really came out with a lackluster performance to start the match,” said Lady Govs head coach Taylor Mott. “We weren’t able to make any runs and we weren’t consistent. We put together a good effort in the third set, but it was too little too late.”
