Bowling Green, Kentucky – WKU Soccer will aim to end its current two-game losing streak when they host Austin Peay on Thursday, September 11, 2025, at 7 p.m. at the WKU Soccer Complex. The Hilltoppers are seeking their first victory since overcoming Rio Grande earlier in the season.
Currently, WKU holds a record of 3-4-0 following recent losses to UAB and Samford, with scores of 1-0 and 2-0 respectively. The team’s junior midfielder Georgia Liapis stands out as their top performer with a total of four goals, which includes a hat trick against Rio Grande and one goal in the match against Union. Additionally, sophomore midfielder Torrie Grant-Clavijo leads the team in assists, contributing a total of three assists this season.
Austin Peay enters this matchup with a record of 0-5-2, struggling to find the back of the net throughout the current season. Notably, the Governors have failed to score a single goal and recently faced defeats in three consecutive home games, falling to Chattanooga and Evansville by a score of 1-0, and managing to tie 0-0 against Murray State.
The standout performer for the Governors is junior goalkeeper Lauryn Berry, who had an impressive display in their recent match against Murray State, recording 11 saves for her second shutout of the year. She is on the brink of making history, requiring just six additional saves to tie for the eighth-most career saves in Austin Peay’s program history. This promising start to the season has been less than fruitful for the rest of the team, as only three players—Paige Chrustowski, Ellie Dreas, and Kasidy Schenk—are tied for the lead in shots with seven each.
Chrustowski and teammate Carolyne Young both made contributions in the Murray State game with two shots each, one of which was on goal. Despite the team’s ongoing struggles, fans can keep track of developments and updates on Austin Peay’s social media platforms, including X, Instagram, and Facebook under the handle @GovsWSOC.
As the Hilltoppers prepare to face the Governors, the implications of a win are vital not only for WKU’s morale but also for establishing momentum going forward in the season. Fans are encouraged to show their support as the teams square off this Thursday.
