NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--Belmont dropped its second consecutive match with a three-game loss to Austin Peay in the Aquinas Sports Center. The Lady Govs ended a five-match losing streak, improving to 3-7 while the host Bruins fell to 1-8 on the season.

Julie Burkhalter got things rolling for the Lady Govs as she served Austin Peay to six consecutive points. Elizabeth Murrieta recorded a pair of kills in the run to give the Lady Govs a 14-3 lead. Belmont trimmed the lead in half at 16-8, sparked by an ace by Lindsay Cleveland and a pair of kills from Kati Baumgartner. A 6-2 Lady Govs rally would put the game out of reach, as Austin Peay cruised to a 30-13 game one victory. Austin Peay pulled away late in game two as the Bruins committed four errors down the stretch to give Austin Peay a 30-23 game two win. The Lady Govs would use three 4-0 runs to separate themselves from the Bruins in the final game and go on to a three-game victory with a 30-18 win in the match. Amy Walk led all players with 15 kills in the match and 15 digs. Murrieta and Sarah Schramka recorded 11 and 10 kills respectively. As a team, the Lady Govs hit .385 and recorded seven aces and 52 digs. Karime Binkley led the Bruins with seven kills, while Baumgartner added six kills and a team-high nine digs. The Bruins were limited to 27 kills and a .087 hitting percentage. Belmont will try to snap out of a two-match losing streak Sept. 19 when they host Lipscomb in the Aquinas Sports Complex. --30--
