CLARKSVILLE- Austin Peay State University women's
tennis picked its season's second win, Friday, when it blanked Western
Kentucky, 5-0, at the Governors Indoor Tennis Center.
The two teams opted to forgo the doubles
matches after the Lady Govs swept through the five singles matches, despite a
three-set match at No. 1.
Junior Vanja Tomic overcame an opening-set
loss to Monta Reinfelde, at No. 1 singles, for her second-straight three-set
win. Tomic lost the middle set at Xavier, but was able to come out with the win.
Last season, the OVC Player of the Year played only two three-set matches.
"Vanja played a tough match," Tabet said. "(Reinfelde)
is a good player and they played some good tennis. They were both hitting the
ball hard and it came down to Vanja having to really play consistent to win it."
Aside from No. 1 singles, the other four
matches were seemingly uneventful as the Lady Govs rolled through the
Hilltoppers. Freshman Andra Cornea gave up four games to Alex Crofford at No. 3
singles, but no other Lady Govs player lost more two games. Sophomore Carolin Weikard and freshman Rachel Margolies each won their matches without losing a
game.
Austin Peay has no time to rest as it plays
host to SIU Edwardsville, Saturday. If weather permits, the match will begin at
noon, on the outdoor courts. Otherwise, the teams will play at 2 p.m. on the
indoor courts.
