Austin Peay State University Sports Information
Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay State University (APSU) women’s tennis team looks to continue its impressive start to the spring season, 11:00am, Friday, February 14th by hosting IUPUI.
The Governors (6-0) decimated Cumberland and Central Arkansas to stay unbeaten, only dropping one singles match over the span of two full matches.
The Govs also boast the reigning Ohio Valley Conference Tennis Player of the Week in Claudia Yanes Garcia.
Yanes Garcia went 4-0 across the two matches last week, teaming with her twin sister Lidia Yanes Garcia for two wins at No. 1 doubles and then sweeping both of her opponents at No. 2 singles in straight sets. Both the Yanes Garcia sisters and Tatiana Lopez are still undefeated in singles matches to start the spring season.

While both Yanes Garcia sisters, Lopez, Helena Kuppig, and Ana Albertson are all undefeated in singles matches in that span, Claudia and Albertson have won them all in straight sets.
