ROBERT SMITH | APSU ATHLETICS A late comeback bid by the Governors was not enough in Saturday’s 62-59 loss to the Eastern Illinois Panthers.

The Governors led for nearly 90% of their game against the Mocs, but it’s the score at the final buzzer that goes into the record book. After a thrilling finish that resulted in an official’s review with no time remaining, APSU fell to Chattanooga 65-64. UTC broke the ice with the first points of the game with a deep three by Eboni Williams, but that would be the only lead the Mocs would have for the next 36 minutes.  Throughout the better part of the game, David Midlick’s Governors were...
