CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The Jacksonville State volleyball team saw its three-match win streak come to an end on Saturday, when Austin Peay rallied to hand the Gamecocks a 3-1 (26-28, 25-21, 25-14, 25-13) loss in Ohio Valley Conference action.

After the Gamecocks (9-17, 7-9 OVC) fought for a win in the first set, the Lady Govs (9-18, 7-9 OVC) held on in the second set to pick up momentum for the final two. Peay hit .324 on the match while holding JSU to a .184 offensive clip in earning the season split in the series.
