The Murray State Racers scored a 3-2 win over Austin Peay and Julie Mooney tied the school single-season scoring mark with her 13^th goal as the Racers beat the Govs in Clarksville, Tenn., in Ohio Valley Conference women's soccer Friday night at Morgan Brothers Field.

Murray State improved to 10-7 overall and 6-2 in the OVC. The Racers are holding to a solid second place with 18 points, behind the 21 points of first place SIUE who got a 2-1 win at Jacksonville State.
