Harding
Both of Harding's victories and one of its two ties have come on the road this season, and the Bisons will look to add to that tally Monday with a non-conference road contest against Ouachita Baptist.
Harding has had success on the road against Ouachita Baptist with four wins and two ties in 10 games in Arkadelphia. Most recently, the Bisons defeated the Tigers 3-1 on the road last season.
Senior Jacob Stevens is Harding's leading scorer in road games. He has three goals and six points. He is followed by Cole Walker (2 goals, 1 assist) and Barry Foster (2 goals).
A victory would be Harding's first since a 6-1 road win at Southwest Baptist on Sept. 25. In its six games since the victory, Harding has scored twice, both by Stevens.
