CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee at Martin beach volleyball team held a 2-1 lead through three decisions today against Austin Peay but the host Governors stormed back for a 3-2 win on the final day of the Govs Beach Bash.

The Skyhawks (12-6) claimed wins at No. 4 and No. 3 this afternoon as Kayla Carrell/Addison Conley extended their winning streak out to seven matches out of the No. 4 slot. Haeleigh Paulino/Logan Wallick also pushed their season record out to 13-4 at No. 3 before Austin Peay escaped with the win.

After Brooke Kuball/Addy Vaughn battled but fell 21-11, 23-21 at No. 5 to start today's match, Carrell/Conley outlasted their competition with a 13-21, 21-18, 15-8 victory to even the score at 1-all. That victory improved Carrell and Conley's season record to a remarkable 17-1, as they now hold a program record for most single-season victories by a UT Martin pair (previously held by Paulino/Wallick in 2021).

Once the second wave of matches started, the Skyhawks raced out to a 2-1 advantage after Paulino/Wallick came out on top of a 21-19, 21-13 decision.

However, the Governors regained momentum with wins in the final two matchups of the afternoon. UT Martin's final two pairs gave it their all but Kambree Lucas/Hannah Phillips fell 21-15, 21-18 at No. 2 while the Skyhawk No. 1 team of Dylan Mott/Karen Scanlon was defeated 21-14, 21-19.

UT Martin concludes the regular season on April 22-23 when it heads back to Clarksville for the second Ohio Valley Conference weekend of 2022. The Skyhawks – who sit atop the OVC standings at 4-0 – will square off against Austin Peay (10:30 a.m.) and Morehead State (4:30 p.m.) on Friday before taking on Eastern Illinois (10:30 a.m.) and Chattanooga (2:30 p.m.) on Saturday.
