Kuppig extends win streak as Govs remain unbeaten

Box Score

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – It was business as usual for Austin Peay State University women's tennis team, as they remained unbeaten after a 7-0 win over Eastern Illinois, Friday.

The Governors (17-0, 5-0 OVC) remained unbeaten and saw Helena Kuppig extend her winning streak in singles to 13 matches, now tied for fifth all-time in program history.

The Yanes Garcia twins won at No. 2 doubles, 6-1, to start things for the Govs. Not even two minutes later, Danielle Morris and Fabienne Schmidt won by the same score at No. 3 doubles to give the Govs a 1-0 lead going into singles. Tatiana Lopez and Honoka Nakanishi's 11-match win streak stayed alive as their match went unfinished with the pair leading 4-3.

The Govs dominated once again in singles. Lopez was first off for the Govs with a 6-0, 6-2 win, before Kuppig won 6-0, 6-1 to put the Govs up 3-0. The Panthers (11-8, 2-3 OVC) simply had no answer for the Govs, as Morris won 6-0, 6-1 to clinch the match for the Govs.

Lidia Yanes Garcia and Claudia Yanes Garcia each picked up straight-set wins, before Schmidt rounded the day off with a win at No. 4 singles to help the Govs remain undefeated.
