APSU Women’s Tennis
Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay State University women’s tennis team returns to action with a 7:00pm, Saturday match against Xavier at Eastern Hills Indoor Tennis Center in Cincinnati.
Austin Peay will be playing its first match in three weeks and Saturday’s will be only the season’s second match. The Lady Govs opened the season with a 6-1 win against Lipscomb after having their original season opener canceled due to inclement weather.
Junior Vanja Tomic and sophomore Carolin Weikard were ranked Nos. 1 and 2 in the Ohio Valley Conference’s preseason individual rankings. Despite losing four seniors from last season’s OVC title team, the Lady Govs were picked, in the preseason poll, to repeat as champions.
Saturday, the Lady Govs will be looking to break a streak of two-straight Musketeer wins against Ohio Valley Conference teams. Xavier played a pair of matches in Richmond, KY, winning 5-2 against Morehead State and 4-3 against Eastern Kentucky. After finishing fifth in the Atlantic 10 race a year ago, Xavier was picked to finish fourth in this season’s A-10 preseason poll.
