CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University men's tennis team takes the courts for a 1:30 p.m., Tuesday match against Cumberland at the Governors Tennis Courts.

Tuesday's match is the second of six-straight home matches for the Govs. Austin Peay continues its homestand at 1 p.m., Thursday against Brescia at the Governors Tennis Courts.
