Austin Peay Women Win OVC Opener at Murray State

MURRAY, Ky. – Squaring off against the Ohio Valley Conference’s top offensive team, it was the Austin Peay State University women’s basketball teams defense that won the battle, as the Governors forced 26 turnovers and recorded 17 steals en route to a 64-60 win at Murray State, Saturday, in the CFSB Center.

Brandi and Brianah Ferby spearheaded an Austin Peay full-court press that disrupted the Murray State offense in the backcourt for 60 minutes, as the twin duo each picked up five steals in the contest. When it wasn’t a Ferby hounding the Racers guards in the backcourt, it was Kasey Kidwell and Shay-Lee Kirby, who picked up a trio and a pair of steals, respectively, as the Governors held Murray State to a season-low 60 points.
