Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay State University men’s tennis team ran its winning streak to four matches with a 5-2 victory against Lindsey Wilson College, Saturday, at the Austin Peay Tennis Center.

In his return from injury, senior Sean Bailey put together a strong performance. He defeated Fabricio Morales (6-0, 4-6, 5-0 ret.) in No. 2 singles and teamed with junior Jasmin Ademovic for a swift 8-4 decision over Fernando Bogajo and Francisco Charters in No. 1 doubles.

Dimitar Ristovski also had victories in singles and doubles against the Blue Raiders. He dispatched Marlon Dal Pont, 6-4, 6-1 in No. 3 singles and joined freshman Evan Borowski for an 8-4 win in No. 3 doubles.
