After Southeast Missouri took a 24-23 lead to bring up the first set point of the night, a Redhawks’ error followed by Claire Darland’s second kill forced SEMO to take a timeout.

Southeast Missouri used a pair of 7-2 runs in the second and third sets to tie and then take a lead in the match. A 7-2 run in the second set gave Southeast Missouri a 21-16 advantage and, despite numerous comeback attempts by the Govs, the Redhawks tied the match following a 25-22 victory. The Govs led 20-18 in the third set; however, another 7-2 run by Southeast Missouri extended its lead to 2-1.
With their backs against the wall, Moore led APSU with five kills in the fourth frame as the Govs capitalized on 10 Redhawks’ errors and held them to a match-low .136 hitting percentage.
Despite forcing the fifth set, a 9-2 run by the Redhawks proved to be the deciding factor in Thursday’s match, as SEMO won their fifth-straight match against over APSU courtesy of a 15-9 victory.
Austin Peay State University’s 113 points through five sets tied for the third-highest mark in program history, while Moore’s 20-kill, 20-dig night was the second time she has accomplished that feat in her career and the 17th time it has been done by a Gov since 1998.
