CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. ? Michelle Liew won her team-best seventh match, but it was not enough as Austin Peay State University women's tennis team lost to Murray State, 6-1, Tuesday. It was the second match in consecutive days for the Lady Govs.

Austin Peay falls to 1-15 overall with a 1-7 Ohio Valley Conference mark. Murray State improves to 12-6 and 6-3 in the league.

The Racers won the doubles point after taking a pair of close matches at No. 1 and No. 3 doubles. Liew and Mariana Pagan lost the top spot in a tiebreaker, while Alexandria Pyle and Mary Beth Lefler fell, 8-6, in the bottom.

Liew's doubles tiebreaker was enough to prepare her for a tough match at No. 2 singles. She won a 4-0 tiebreaker to take the first set and closed the match with a 6-2 win. The rest of the Lady Govs were less fortunate, as Pagan's straight set (6-4, 6-4) loss at No. 1 was the next closest singles match.

The Lady Govs close out their season on the road, with a 1 p.m., Saturday match at Eastern Illinois.
