Clarksville TN -  The Austin Peay State University Lady Govs Basketball team begins the second half of the Ohio Valley Conference race when they travel to Murray State University on Saturday.  The 2:15pm afternoon affair pits the 1-7 Lady Govs against the 6-3 Lady Racers.

The Lady Govs hope to carry the momentum of their first OVC win, a 78-71 victory at Jacksonville State on Monday.  They’ll face a Murray State team that has won four-straight OVC games, and climbed into second place in the conference West Division race.  Saturday’s meeting will be the second of the season, with the Lady Racers winning a 77-72 decision, January 12th in Clarksville.

An Austin Peay win would give it back-to-back wins for the second time this season… be its second OVC win this season… be its second straight road win… be its third win away from the Dunn Center (3-8)… be its fourth straight win at the CFSB Center… improve coach Carrie Daniels’ record to 79-130 overall and 52-66 in OVC play… make the Lady Govs 432-603 overall since 1976-77.

An Austin Peay loss would be its third straight loss to Murray State, its longest win streak to the Racers since 2008-09 (four games)… be its first loss at the CFSB Center since Jan. 10th, 2009, ending a three-game APSU win streak in the facility… make it 1-8 in OVC play… make it 2-9 away from the Dunn Center…  drop Daniels’ record to 78-131 overall and 51-67 in OVC play… make the Lady Govs 431-604 overall since 1976-77.
