Jacksonville State (6-15, 4-4 OVC) is coming off of a two match losing streak, with losses to Southern Illinois and Eastern Illinois. The Gamecocks players with the highest winning record for this season are Sadey St. Amant, 9-10, and Genevie Ulanday, 7-10. Conversely, none of the Gamecocks have winning streaks coming into the match with Austin Peay.

Austin Peay will be the visiting team for Saturday’s match, held at the JSU Tennis Complex.
