Clarksville, TN – A 58th-minute goal by Alec Baumgardt, paired with a seven-save shutout by Lauryn Berry led the Austin Peay State University (APSU) soccer team to a 1-0 victory against Chattanooga, Thursday, at Morgan Brothers Soccer Feld.
Austin Peay (2-0) fired the match’s first four shots in the opening 15 minutes, with a trio coming off the right foot of Baumgardt. The Federal Way, Washington native finished the opening 45 minutes with five attempts and two on goal, but the score stood scoreless entering the second half.
Chattanooga (0-2-1) registered the first shot of the second half, but Berry made the save for her third of the night and first of five in the second half.
In the 58th minute, Baumgardt connected with Kasidy Schenk, who imminently passed it back to her in the midfield, dribbled left of the defender, and fired with her left foot to the bottom-right of the goal. The score marks her first of the season and 11th of her career.
Despite an offensive attack by Chattanooga, which saw the Mocs tally four of the final five shots, the Govs came away with the 1-0 shutout victory.
