COVID-19 has had several impacts on the world in recent weeks, especially in sports.

Former Austin Peay basketball player Eli Abaev announced on Twitter Monday that he will be transferring to Florida Gulf Coast of the ASUN Conference. He will be eligible to participate immediately.

After losing two of three games at home to Murray State over the weekend and a late heartbreaker against Lipscomb on Tuesday, the Austin Peay baseball squad was in need of a bounce-back.

Three Austin Peay Governors have been awarded 2019-20 season honors by the Ohio Valley Conference with two from the men’s squad -- Terry Taylor and Jordyn Adams -- and one from the women’s -- Ella Sawyer -- combining for a total of five distinctions. 

Friday night’s loss to the Murray State Racers in the OVC Tournament semifinal is probably not the way the Austin Peay Governors envisioned their conference title pursuit ending – especially after they had started the season 10-0.

Thursday’s win for the Austin Peay State women’s basketball team was a necessary one for a pair of reasons.

Baseball season is officially underway in Clarksville, and Austin Peay started off the season with a bang, taking two of three games from the Eastern Michigan Eagles.

After starting OVC play 2-6, the Austin Peay State Governors have finally hit their stride – and it could not have come any sooner.

In the words of Austin Peay coach Matt Figger, “Sometimes you win a game, but you lose because of the way you played.” 

It almost seems like a small boy born in Valencia, Venezuela was destined to land at a small mid-major Division I basketball program in Clarksville, Tenn. from the very start.

For the first time since 2017, the Austin Peay State Governors have beaten the Murray State Racers.

It seems like any time the Austin Peay State Governors get an OVC win, it’s referred to as “much-needed.” 

Going undefeated in a conference is not easy… and the Austin Peay Governors will not be doing it this season.

Once again, right when the Austin Peay State women’s basketball team thinks they have their offense figured out, things go sour.

Beating Belmont at home is one thing. Beating them on the road is an entirely different task.

The Austin Peay State women’s basketball team earned another key victory on Thursday night, defeating the SIUE Cougars 74-61. It’s their second victory in three games – the one loss being a last second defeat to first-place Belmont – after starting the conference season 1-5.

The Governors continue to find new ways to win.

After seemingly getting their scoring acumen back on Thursday, the Austin Peay women’s basketball team fell into an offensive funk Saturday. They were defeated by the Eastern Illinois Panthers 76-47.

After four double-digit victories in a span of five games, the Austin Peay State Governors have reminded everyone that they are still, in fact, human beings.

The Austin Peay State women have claimed their most lopsided win of the conference season so far.

The Governors had a win over preseason OVC favorite Belmont in the palm of their hand.

Every great basketball season comes with at least one signature win.

Jordyn Adams and Terry Taylor.

It was all going so well for the Governors.
