Austin Peay State University Sports Information
Clarksville, TN – The Austin Peay State University (APSU) men’s tennis team wraps up its roadtrip with a lone match against Valdosta State, 2:00pm, Thursday, March 6th.
The Governors (3-8) struggled to get things going in their first two matches of the trip, falling to Kennesaw State and Bethune-Cookman.
Before embarking to Georgia and Florida for the trip, the Govs faced off against Southern Indiana at home, defeating them for the second straight season.
As a result of his performances against USI and Kennesaw State, Almantas Ozelis was named Ohio Valley Conference Co-Tennis Player of the Week. Against USI, Ozelis teamed with Anton Damberg for a win at No. 1 doubles before sweeping away his opponent at No. 1 singles in straight sets.
Ozelis had also claimed the second set in his singles match against Kennesaw State, but it went unfinished due to the team outcome already being decided.
