Harding Men's Tennis Secures Two GAC Individual Championships

SEARCY, Ark. (AP) — Harding University men's tennis concluded the Great American Conference Individual Championships on Friday by securing two championships, fueled by a dominant performance in doubles and an all-Bison final in singles.

Singles Recap

The Bisons guaranteed the Flight 4 singles title on Thursday and finalized the win Friday when Jan Alexander Has defeated teammate Ignacio de Lorenzo in the final, 6-1, 6-1.

However, freshman Luke Rhoden fell short in his bid for the Flight 5 singles crown, losing the final match to Shun Wakino of Southern Arkansas.
