Emma Hacker finally ended the Colonel’s scoreless streak with a three-pointer on the next possession, but Sawyer had an answer and drilled a triple of her own on the ensuing trip down the floor to push the Governors advantage back to eight points. With 6:23 left in the third quarter, Brianah Ferby gave the Governors their first double-digit lead of the afternoon when she knocked down a pair of free throws to stretch the lead to 40-30. Eastern Kentucky was able to cut into the lead early in the fourth period, trimming the Governors lead to six points on a Bass jumper with 7:11 left in the contest. But that was the last time the Colonels would score for the next 6:10 and the Govs capitalized by going on a 10-0 run that started with Nina De Leon Negron grabbing a defensive rebound and going coast-to-coast before finishing with a Euro-step layup in traffic. With 1:11 left in the contest, Booker knocked down the second of two free throws to give Austin Peay State University a 16-point advantage – its biggest lead of the day. Eastern Kentucky was able to get on the scoreboard one last time when Clara Rosini knocked down a jumper with 1:01 left to play, but a pair of Kasey Kidwell free throws with 38 seconds left sealed a 16-point victory as the Governors won their 10th OVC game of the season.
