CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – As the fall tennis season comes to a close, Austin Peay women’s tennis will take to the court for the final time in 2019 when they travel to Murfreesboro to play in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Ohio Valley Regional hosted by Middle Tennessee State University from Thursday, Oct. 17 to Tuesday, Oct. 22.

Austin Peay’s No. 1 duo in Fabienne Schmidt and Danielle Morris will take on Wright State’s Jillian Milano and Luisa Pelayo to kick off the tournament in Main Doubles Draw.

The Govs pairing of Ana Albertson and Aleks Topalovic will also play in the Doubles Main Draw. Austin Peay’s lone senior, Albertson and Memphis-transfer, Topalovic, have never played together while at APSU.

Morris and Schmidt each competed with a different partner in doubles play at last season’s ITA Ohio Valley Regional.

In the Main Singles Draw, four Govs will compete on the first day of the tournament. Schmidt will look to get things turned around against Purdue’s Zala Dovnick after falling in the second round of last year’s tournament. Albertson advanced to the second round of the B Flight Singles last season, but will open up in Main Draw this year against Indiana’s Lexi Kubas. Morris will face off against Louisville’s Dina Chaika in the Main Singles Draw.

Sophomore East Carolina transfer Martina Paladini-Jennings will be the final Governor to take to the court in the Main Singles Draw. She will be matched up with Indiana’s Xiaowei Hu in the first round. Toplavoic will be Austin Peay’s lone representative in the B Flight singles, where she will play Chattanooga’s Grace Anne Dunavant in the first round.
