The last two home games were also the last Ohio Valley Conference games for the Lady Govs this season. With the results from last weekend, the Lady Govs finished winless in the OVC, 0-8-1 (6-12-1 overall).
"It's disappointing, the results that we have had in the conference this year," said head coach Kelly Guth. "We have battled in every game, neck and neck. It's unfortunate that we have not been able to come up with a win."
The Lady Govs suffered their eight straight OVC loss to the Lady Eagles.
From the starting whistle, the Lady Eagles played more aggressively than the Lady Govs in the first period of the game. They earned two corner kicks and out-shot APSU eight to four.
Lady Eagle freshman Erin Adams made the first goal of the game in the 27th minute off a cross from teammate Rebekah Kendall. Kendall added a goal of her own in the 74th minute after a corner kick to give the Lady Eagles a 2-0 lead.
The Lady Govs came out more aggressive in the second period of the game. They generated 11 shots and forced Lady Eagle junior goalkeeper Leslie King to make six saves.
Ashley Beck beat King for her 10th goal of the season off a cross from Tyler Adair in the 83rd minute of the game. However, the Lady Govs were unable to score again before the end of the game. Beck led the team with six shot attempts, four on goal, and one score.
The Lady Govs ended their losing streak with a 1-1 tie in their first double-overtime game of the season against EKU.
"I was very pleased with our team's effort," Guth said. "They didn't quit and they went out and they fought hard for 90 minutes. We had the opportunity for our seniors to all play and I thought that was important for us to allow them the opportunity to do that."
