After that season, the Governors will move to the new F&M Bank Arena in downtown Clarksville. The new arena was originally intended to open for the 2022–23 season, but has been 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.

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]
