The Austin Peay Governors women's basketball team represents Austin Peay State University (aka Peay) in Clarksville, Tennessee. The Governors currently compete in the Ohio Valley Conference, but will move to the ASUN Conference after the 2021–22 season. Peay currently uses the on-campus Winfield Dunn Center for its home games, but plans to move basketball to the new F&M Bank Arena in downtown Clarksville in 2022.[2]

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.[3]
