This is Austin Peay state University
A
ustin Peay State University is a comprehensive, stateassisted university with a distinguished tradition in liberal and professional education. The institution is named in honor of Austin Peay, Tennessee’s governor from 1924 until 1927, the year APSU was founded. The university is located in Clarksville, Tenn., just 45 minutes northwest of Tennessee’s capital, Nashville, on Interstate 24. One of the South’s most historic cities, Clarksville also is Tennessee’s third-fastest growing city behind only Memphis and Nashville. Situated on gently rolling terrain near picturesque downtown Clarksville, Austin Peay’s main campus consists of 68 buildings on 169 acres. The classical Georgian architecture of the Austin Peay campus is combined with newer buildings. This blend provides a link with the past while reflecting the academic excellence and dignity of an institution of higher learning. The newest building additions to the main campus are the Foy Fitnees and Recreation Center, Sundquist Science Complex and the new Morgan University Center, each opening for use since 2001. The $11-million Foy Center, features a rock-climbing wall and 10,000 square feet of fitness space and other amenities for the student body. The Sundquist Complex is one of the South’s premier science education facilities and represents the largest capital appropriation ever in Tennessee for a single classroom building. The new Morgan University Center is located in the heart of the campus and features a cybercafe, meeting rooms, a food court, coffee shop, ballroom and lounges for Austin Peay students. Austin Peay’s campus has been the site of seven educational institutions since 1806. The campus was occupied by Southwestern for 50 years until 1925 when the school moved to Memphis. Austin Peay was founded two years later as a two-year normal school to train teachers for the region. Austin Peay has grown over the years to take its place among the finest mid-sized four-year universities in the nation. Austin Peay Normal School became a four-year college in 1941-42, and university status was conferred Sept. 1, 1967. Austin Peay State University currently enrolls more than 10,000 students from every region of Tennessee, most of the 50 states and several foreign countries. Austin Peay offers more than 50 majors in associate, bachelor’s, master’s and education specialist’s degrees with additional areas of concentration. Courses are offered in arts and sciences, business, education, engineering technology, nursing and human services. Graduate studies also are offered in several areas. In addition, numerous online courses are offered each semester. A state leader in public service, Austin Peay State University has more than 750 employees. Engaged in the most modern teaching techniques and research are nearly 280 full-time faculty members, 90 percent of whom hold the earned doctorate or appropriate terminal degrees in their disciplines.

governors tennis facilities The Governors Tennis Center has been a part of Austin Peay athletics and the Clarksville community for nearly two decades. When the idea was broached to build an indoor tennis center on the APSU campus, the advantages were obvious for APSU students, the Governors and Lady Govs tennis programs and the local tennis community. The indoor facility literally became a tennis “center” in northwest Tennessee. The site of Clarksville’s first indoor tennis center is located across the street from Governors Stadium and next to the stadium parking lot. It consists of four lighted courts. Dressing facilities for both men and women are provided. The University actively seeks memberships from families, individuals and corporations. Students do not have to pay a membership fee but are charged a reduced court-time fee. Combined with the recently renovated Governors Tennis Courts, Austin Peay possesses debatably the Ohio Valley Conference’s finest tennis facilities.
GOVERNORS TENNIS CENTER The Governors Tennis Center not only provides protection from the elements, but also allows for continous teaching and instruction by the Austin Peay coaching staff.
AUSTIN PEAY TENNIS COURTS The recently resurfaced Austin Peay tennis courts remains the finest outdoor tennis courts in the area. Consisting of eight lighted courts, the facility sits adjacent to the Foy Fitness and Recreation Center. The courts have new windscreens and bleacher seating, along with a practice wall.

In closing the season, Pagan lost three straight three-set matches on the road, including a tiebreaker loss to EKU’s Sitnikova. Liew, of Kuching, Malaysia, played a stellar No. 2 for Austin Peay, finishing with a team-best 13-5 overall record to go along with a 5-3 league mark. The junior opened the season winning five straight, but hit a low spot with a four-match skid from the end of Feburary to through the first week of March. After that she rattled off eight-straight wins before losing to first-team All-OVC selection Svetlana Pimenova, at EKU, to end the season. Liew was 6-2 in three-set matches. Locatelli, of Pelotas, Brazil, was in his first season at No. 1 for the Govs, recording a 9-8 overall mark and an even 4-4 clip in league action. On the doubles side, he teamed with Lucas De Brito to post a 9-7 mark at No. 1 along with a 4-3 OVC record.

MALIK TABET HEAD COACH 1st Season Malik Tabet, a former two-time Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year, was named Austin Peay’s head tennis coach in August 2009. The previous spring, the French national completed his fifth full season as Indiana State’s women’s coach and first as men’s coach. However, in a cost-cutting move, both Sycamore tennis programs were indefinitely suspended in midMay. Tabet will be challenged to revive an Austin Peay tennis program that largely has been dormant since Lou Weiss left as coach in 1998. He has a history of revitalizing programs. In a five-year period, he led the Sycamore women to three Missouri Valley regular-season championships (2005, 2006, 2008) and an NCAA tournament appearance in 2008 following the Sycamores’ MVC tourney championship. His women’s tennis was ranked as high as 59th in country by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) in 2007 and 68th the following season. One of his players, Jennifer Migan, received an to the 2008 NCAA Individual Tournament and was ranked as high as No. 48 nationally and propelled his No. 1 doubles team to as high as No. 20 nationally. Overall, Indiana State players won 12 singles championship and six double titles at MVC Individuals (fall) with a total of 12 players earning All-MVC honors. Tabet was named Missouri Valley Coach of the Year in 2005 and 2008 while earning ITA Midwest Region Coach of the Year in 2007. Tabet took over the Indiana State University women’s program in January 2004 after the retirement of Mary Ann Stadler. Before joining the Sycamores, Tabet served as an assistant coach of the women’s tennis team at the University of Arkansas in 2003.
the Privateers, UNO jumped from seventh to third in just one season before earning a second-place finish in the Sun Belt Conference during his second year in charge. Along the way, the Privateers earned a national ranking (No. 62) for the first time in school history. UNO’s No. 1 singles player was ranked in the top 50 nationally, while the No. 1 doubles team climbed into the nation’s top 40. As a college athlete Tabet played a significant role in propelling the University of Mobile (Ala.) to the 1997 NAIA National Championship. Ranked as high as fifth in the nation in singles, and 12th in doubles for the Rams during 1997, Mobile finished the 1998 season second in the NAIA national tourney, the same season Tabet was ranked as high as 10th in singles, and eighth in doubles. In 1997 and 1998 the University of Mobile won the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Championship with Tabet earning NAIA All-American each year. After transferring to the University of West Florida his senior season, Tabet helped the Argonauts earn the 1999 Gulf South Conference Championship and a third-place finish at the 1999 NCAA Division II National Tournament. He was named a Division II All-American after attaining rakings in singles (No. 12) and doubles (No. 18) play. After a successful college playing career, Tabet moved into coaching, landing the head position for both the West Georgia men and women’s tennis teams from 2000-01. In addition to his coaching duties, Tabet served as the program’s primary fundraiser, generating revenue through clinics and pro-am tournaments. While at West Georgia, Tabet led the women’s team to the Division II Gulf South Regional. Tabet also enjoyed a standout career as an international player, competing for the Algerian National Team from 199195, as well as the Algerian Davis Cup team. He won more than 90 tournaments in France. Tabet won the 1995 Sham International Tennis Open in Damascus Syria before taking top honors at the 1995 Gillette International Tennis Open in Rosas, Spain. In 1996 and 1997, he was champion of the French Rhone-Alps Region and qualified for the French National Championship, held at Rolland Garros, in Paris. A 1999 magna cum laude graduate of the University of Mobile, Tabet earned a bachelor’s degree in foreign languages and holds a master’s in applied linguistics from the University of New Orleans, where he worked in the foreign language department as a French instructor. Tabet also earned a baccalaureate in accounting from CUEFA in Grenoble, France.
He also had experience as the men’s associate head coach at the University of New Orleans from 2001-03. While with

TOM CHICOINE ASSISTANT COACH 1st Season In his work to revitalize the Austin Peay tennis programs, head coach Malik Tabet went to a proven player and coach to aid, adding Tom Chicoine, a former All-Big Ten player from the University of Minnesota, as assistant coach. Chicoine will assist with administrative duties and on-court coaching as well as organizing travel from both the men and women’s teams. “I am extremely excited to have Tom join our tennis program,” Tabet said. “Tom was a successful college and professional player and has the drive and desire to be an even better coach. He’s bringing a wealth of experience and will prove to be a great asset for our program.” Chicoine played at Minnesota from 1996-99 where he held an NCAA ranking as high as No. 16 as a senior. During that year, Chicoine was a Big Ten singles runner-up and earned an automatic bid to the 1999 NCAA Men’s Tennis Championships. He ended his career at Minnesota as the Golden Gophers all-time winningest singles player with 139 victories. While at Minnesota, Chicoine received the Len Bailey Award for Grit and Determination, along with Louis Ratner Memorial Award for outstanding contribution to Golden Gopher tennis and the Team Spirit Award. Following his collegiate career, Chicoine played professionally on the ATP World Tour, achieving a career-high singles ranking at No. 255. He played primarily on the ITF Futures Tour – alongside players such as James Black, David Nalbandian, Robert Kendrick and Igor Kunitsyn – where he held a 23-14 record before retiring in 2001.
