COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee Tech scored on a penalty kick in the second overtime period as the Golden Eagles edged Eastern Illinois 1-0 in Ohio Valley Conference play.

MURRAY STATE 1, MOREHEAD STATE 0
MURRAY, Ky. - A stellar defensive effort wasn't enough to overcome Murray State as the Soccer Eagles dropped a late heartbreaker at the hands of the Racers 1-0 Sunday afternoon.
The loss drops the Eagles to 4-7-3 on the season and 2-2-1 in league play. Despite the loss, the Eagles remain in strong position within the OVC standings with seven points.
The pace of the game swung back and forth between the two halves. Morehead State managed to keep its opponent from registering a single shot on goal throughout the entire first half, but the Racers flipped the script in the second half by holding the Eagles without a shot.
The Eagles flew out to a fast start, with Jenna Setters firing the game's first shot 13 seconds into the match. Morehead State continued to generate chances on net throughout the half, with Abby Wesselkamper, Katie Kiolbassa, Madelyn Mozeleski and Sidney Palla all putting shots on goal.
Michelle Jerantowski withstood the counterattack from the Racers for much of the second half, recording four saves before Murray State finally broke through in the 88th minute to break the tie.
Murray State's Chloe Barnthouse scored her fourth goal of the season to give the Racers the win.
SOUTHEAST MISSOURI 1, AUSTIN PEAY 0
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - Austin Peay State University women's soccer team was unable to overcome a third-minute goal and dropped a 1-0 decision to Southeast Missouri, Sunday, at Morgan Bros. Soccer Field.
Austin Peay (3-8-2, 0-4-0) outshot the Redhawks, 14-6, and each side put a pair of shots on goal in the match. Southeast Missouri (4-8-0, 1-3-0) goalkeeper Bailey Redden made saves on both shots she faced, while Governors keeper Peyton Powell was only able to save one of the shots she faced.
Southeast Missouri got on the board early when Hannah Compernolle used assists from Abby Tremain and Kiana Khedoo to find the back of the net in just the third minute. Olivia Prock and Claire Larose put shots on goal in the ninth and tenth minutes, respectively, but neither was able to best Redden.
The Govs also had four shots that were blocked by Southeast Missouri defenders, with Rachel Bradberry having two of her team-high three shots never make it to the goalkeeper. Freshman Sarai Faulkner and Larose each had one shot that was blocked by the Redhawks defense. Austin Peay has now dropped three-straight matches to start Ohio Valley Conference play.
