HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - Austin Peay State University's soccer team posted its second-consecutive shutout and its third-straight road win – matching the 2005 team for the longest road winning streak in program history – with a trio of Governors finding the back of the net in a 3-0 win over Alabama A&M, Thursday, at Charger Parker on the campus of Alabama-Huntsville.
Austin Peay (3-4-1) got on the scoreboard right out of the gate, with senior Rachel Bradberry taking a pass from Alec Baumgardt and firing it past the Alabama A&M (0-6-1) goalkeeper to take a 1-0 lead in the first minute. Bradberry's second goal of the season and 10th of her career came on Baumgardt's first career assist.
After six shots on goal and six saves by Alabama A&M, graduate senior Gybson Roth was able to break through and give the Governors a 2-0 lead when she used a pass from freshman Olivia Prock to score her first goal of the season. Roth's 33rd-minute goal was the third of her career and her first since 2017, it was also Prock's first assist in her collegiate career.
Roth's goal was the final shot on target in the first half, as the Govs defense held Alabama A&M shotless in the first 45 minutes and took a 2-0 lead into halftime.
Chloé Dion replaced Peyton Powell in goal for Austin Peay to start the second half, the duo would go on to keep a clean sheet, with the Governors defense not allowing a shot on goal in the match.
The Govs extended their lead early in the second half, with Prock playing a shot over Alabama A&M goalkeeper Jodi Medina's head to score the first goal of her collegiate career. Prock's 47th-minute strike made her the second of Austin Peay's 12 freshmen to find the back of the net this season, joining Baumgardt, who scored at North Alabama.
With a 3-0 lead in hand, Dion and the defense held strong and secured the Governors' second-straight shutout victory.
