The Austin Peay Governors women's basketball team represents Austin Peay State University (aka Peay) in Clarksville, Tennessee. The Governors currently compete in the ASUN Conference.
The 2022–23 season was not only Peay's first in the ASUN Conference, but also was its last at Winfield Dunn Center. After that season, the Governors moved to the new F&M Bank Arena in downtown Clarksville. The new arena was originally intended to open for the 2022–23 season, but was delayed to July 2023.[2][3]
History
Historically, Peay's women's teams had been known as "Lady Govs", but the university began using "Governors" for women's teams in 2015–16.
As of the end of the 2015–16 season, the Governors have an all-time record of 459–669 since records were kept in 1976. They had played from 1929 to 1936 and had started play again in 1970, but those records are lost. The Govs have made the NCAA Tournament seven times, losing in the First Round each time.[4]
