CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The Jacksonville State soccer team wrapped up its final Ohio Valley Conference road match with a 1-0 loss at Austin Peay on Sunday afternoon on the APSU campus.

The narrow defeat dropped the Gamecocks to 5-12-1 overall and 2-7 in OVC play.  The setback officially eliminates Jax State from the 2016 OVC Tournament.  JSU was searching for its third consecutive trip to the postseason.  The Govs improved their standing in the OVC race with the win as they moved to 10-6-2 on the season and 5-2-2 in the league.

After taking OVC leader Murray State to overtime on Friday before falling 1-0 to the Racers in extra time, Sunday's match was nearly a mirror image of Friday's contest as both team struggled to find offense.  After 74 minutes of a scoreless deadlock, APSU registered the game-winning goal in the 75^th minute.

APSU's Kirstin Robertson collected the game-winner on the 13^th of APSU's 14 shots in the game as she netted the ball from the top of the box past JSU's Caroline Robinson, who was inserted in at halftime after senior Katie Thomas made her first start of the season.  Thomas finished with four saves in the first 45 minutes.

The Govs had the offensive advantage throughout the match as JSU was limited to three shots in the contest.  Junior Kayla Thompson was credited with a shot in the first half, while freshman Danielle Monroe and senior Justine Panchuk added shots in the final 45 minutes.

JSU will close out the season on Thursday evening at the JSU Soccer Field, hosting the Bruins of Belmont.  Kick off is set for 7 p.m. at the JSU Soccer Field.  Admission to all home matches is free.  The match will also be available on the OVC Digital Network.
