Box Score CLARKSVILLE, Tenn.  -  SIUE volleyball dropped its second match of the weekend on Saturday afternoon, as the Cougars fell at Austin Peay in straight sets (19-25, 10-25, 18-25).

The match started with both squads trading blows, but a late offensive outburst from the Governors doomed the visitors and resulted in a first-set defeat for SIUE. The Governors carried their momentum into the second set, dominating offensively and defensively en route to a 25-10 second set. The third set saw the hosts start off strong in the early moments, mounting as large as a nine-point lead; however, a pair of lengthy Cougar scoring runs brought SIUE within striking distance. APSU would follow with a run of their own, and a Cougar comeback effort proved too late and gave the hosts the straight-set victory.

As a team, the Cougars hit for a conference season-low .059, and the Govs hit above .300. Individually, the Cougars were led by Sydney Hummert, who once again led the Red & White with nine kills. Julia Treichel followed closely behind with seven kills.

The Cougars will return to action on Tuesday night, as they head to Charleston for a matchup at in-state foe Eastern Illinois.
