Clarksville, TN – Following a seven-match scoreless drought and a 2-1 loss to Bellarmine to open Atlantic Sun Conference play Thursday, the Austin Peay State University (APSU) soccer team is set to face Eastern Kentucky for senior day, starting on Sunday at 1:00pm CT at Morgan Brothers Field in Clarksville, Tennessee.
Austin Peay (0-6-3, 0-1-0 ASUN) ended its scoreless drought against Bellarmine on Thursday, with junior midfielder Vivian Burke giving the APSU Govs their first goal on a free kick just outside the box.
