The Governors had four players finish with double-digit kills, led by Kirstin Distler's 12.

The loss dropped Southeast to 7-7 overall and 5-3 in the OVC, while Austin Peay improved to 14-6 overall and 6-2 in the OVC.

Southeast failed to record a service ace in the match, while Austin Peay recorded six, led by Kayla Grantham's three.

Game scores were 25-22, 25-22, 25-18.

The Redhawks return to action Wednesday when they host Saint Louis University, which is ranked 27th in the latest AVCA Division I coaches poll.
