CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — Austin Peay State University's women's tennis team earned a 4-3 a win against Middle Tennessee, Thursday, at the Governors Tennis Courts.

Pauline Bruns and Elena Thiel fell against Rutuja Chaphalkar and  S. Rodrigues De Lima, 6-2. In a thrilling tie-break match, Luca Bohlen  and Yi-Ching Huang clinched the doubles win against Zora Koenig and Sara Conde, 7-6 with an extended, 9-7 set tiebreak. 

After losses by Baranov and Bolton in singles, Thiel earned the Govs' first singles victory from the No. 5 court and a three-set win by Huang from the No. 2 position gave the Govs a 3-2 lead.  Butavand clinched the win for Austin Peay for a team score of 4-2. With the result already decided, MTSU's Sara Conde defeated Pauline Bruns.
