Golden Eagles will face Austin Peay Friday in OVC Tournament semifinal

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Tech volleyball team sat in the stands in Eblen Center and watched the action Thursday night to learn who they will face Friday in their semifinal match of the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament.

The answer turned out to be No. 4 seed Austin Peay, which sailed through a 3-0 win over No. 5 seed Southeast Missouri with little resistance. The Lady Govs are the only team to have beaten Tech in Eblen Center this season, opening the conference season way back on Sept. 19 with a 3-2 victory over the Golden Eagles.

Tech gained a measure of revenge three weeks ago by sweeping a 3-0 victory over Austin Peay on the Lady Govs home court.
