CLARKSVILLE – After taking a week off from action, Austin Peay State University men's tennis will look to regroup against North Alabama in a 2 p.m., Saturday match at the UNA Varsity Tennis Courts in Florence, Alabama.

The Governors come into Saturday's tilt after falling to Carson-Newman, 4-3, in a well-fought match last time out. The Govs will still be looking to get into the win column for the first time this season when they square off with the Lions.

So far this season, Anton Damberg and Jacob Lorino lead the Governors with a pair of wins in single action from the No. 4 and No. 5 positions, respectively. Christian Edison and Oliver Andersson each picked up their first singles win of the season last time out against Carson-Newman as well. In doubles play, the Damberg and Frederic Schlossmann pairing are the only Austin Peay duo to win a match this season.
