CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The Jacksonville State women's tennis team dropped back-to-back Ohio Valley Conference matches on the road Friday and Saturday at Murray State and Austin Peay, falling 5-2 and 6-1, respectively.
 
Murray State 5, Jacksonville State 2
Diana Monsalve and Alba Conejero each earned individual victories over the Racers, but the pair of points were not enough to fend off a strong showing by the home team. Murray State picked up the doubles point and took four of the single flight's possible six points.
 
The Gamecocks' lineup was at full strength for the first time since February. Since competing in the Alabama State Invitational Feb. 10 – 12, JSU had not fielded a full lineup of six.
