Austin Peay State University women's tennis team earned its fifth-straight victory after defeating Chattanooga 4-1, Saturday, at the Governors Tennis Courts.

The Governors claimed the doubles point for the fifth-straight match after allowing just four combined games in its No. 1 and No. 2 pairings.

Denise Torrealba and Sophia Baranov earned their fifth win together of the season in a 6-0 victory against Chattanooga's Coco Bosman and Lucia Garrigues-Melendez. 

After Torrealba and Baranov gave Austin Peay the doubles advantage with their win from the No. 2 court, Jana Leder and Melody Hefti claimed the match's first point with their 6-2 victory against UTC's Caroline Gibbens and Jessie Young.

Leder and Hefti then picked up 6-1, 6-1 wins from the No. 1 and No. 3 singles positions, respectively, extending Austin Peay's lead to 3-0.

Chattanooga claimed its lone point of the afternoon with a 6-3, 6-2 win from the No. 6 position, but Baranov secured the win for APSU with a 6-4, 6-4 victory from the No. 4 position.

Austin Peay concludes its season-long six match homestand at 1 p.m., Tuesday against Doane.
