JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville State women's tennis team downed Austin Peay 4-3 for its second Ohio Valley Conference victory Saturday afternoon.
 
The Gamecocks (9-2, 2-1 OVC) rallied to top the Govs (5-6, 2-1 OVC) after falling behind 1-0 with the loss of the doubles point. Genevie Ulanday and Elena Tendero won the first set of doubles action 6-3, but back-to-back set wins for APSU at No. 2 and No. 3 gave the visitors an early advantage.
