CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University men's tennis team looks to pick up its first ASUN Conference win in its 1 p.m., Sunday match against North Florida at the UNF Tennis Complex in Jacksonville Florida.

Austin Peay (3-8, 0-1 ASUN) fell in its season opener to Queens, Friday, but looks to earn its first victory as a member of the ASUN against North Florida (8-4, 1-0 ASUN).

Freshman Javier Tortajada earned the Govs' lone point in the ASUN opener, winning in straight sets from the No. 4 position. Tom Bolton and Giovanni Becchis also won their fifth doubles match of the season from the top position in Friday's match against the Royals.

The Ospreys defeated Stetson 4-3 in their ASUN opener and have won four of their last five matches entering Sunday's contest.

Last season, North Florida finished fourth in the ASUN standings and had their season come to an end in the ASUN Championship semifinals to the Regular Season Champions in Florida Gulf Coast.

After their match in the Sunshine State, the Govs return home for four-straight matches, beginning with a 2 p.m., Friday contest against Lipscomb at the Governors Tennis Courts.
