Murfreesboro, TN – Freshman Bodi van Galen earned a three-set singles victory, but Austin Peay State University men’s tennis team fell to No. 21 Middle Tennessee, Sunday, at the Adams Tennis Complex.
The Blue Raiders (10-3) claimed the match’s first point after defeating the Governors No. 3 pairing of Thiago Nogueira and Hogan Stoker, before then defeating the Govs’ freshman tandem of Aeneas Schaub and Sota Minami, 6-3 from the top position.
Middle Tennessee won four-straight singles matches to claim the win before van Galen claimed his first-career collegiate victory in a 6-4, 2-6, 12-10 win against Middle Tennessee’s Shu Matsuoka.
