Harding Men's Tennis Defeats Oklahoma Baptist, Finishes Second in GAC

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA. - Harding men's tennis defeated a depleted Oklahoma Baptist 5-1 Friday in the Great American Conference regular season finale for both teams.

Oklahoma Baptist had only four healthy players, but was still very dangerous. Oklahoma Baptist began the match by defaulting at No. 3 doubles and at No. 1 and No. 2 singles.

Harding won at No. 2 doubles where Carlos Crisostomo and Luis Tirado won its 10th straight and for the 21st time this season 8-5. The clinching point came from Alejandro Sendra, who defeated 2017 GAC Player of the Year Kevin Andrusch in three sets.

With the victory, Harding earned the No. 2 seed in the GAC Tournament and will take on No. 3 Oklahoma Baptist for a second straight time.
