Roux Claims Two Titles to Lead Lady Bisons at GAC Individual Championships

SEARCY, Ark. — Harding senior Karli Roux captured two major titles—Flight 1 singles and Flight 1 doubles—to lead the Lady Bisons as the Great American Conference Individual Championships concluded Friday at the David Elliott Tennis Center. Harding secured two championships overall during the two-day event.

Roux, who had reached the Flight 1 singles final on Thursday with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Emilia O'Neill of Southeastern Oklahoma, battled Jolina Mass of Southern Arkansas in a grueling championship match on Friday, winning 6-3, 0-6, 11-9. The tiebreaker win secured the first championship of the day for the senior.

Roux quickly added her second championship alongside Brooke Coffman in Flight 1 doubles. After defeating Milana Voloshyn and Kseniya Zhdanok of Southeastern Oklahoma 8-1 in the semifinal, Roux and Coffman beat Roksana Kokocha and Taylor Conway of Southern Arkansas 8-4 in the final to take the title.

Harding's second singles finalist, Ece Boylu, fell to Camila Corrales of Southern Arkansas in the Flight 4 singles final with a score of 6-2, 2-6, 10-2. Boylu and partner Kenna Kelley also saw their tournament run end in the Flight 3 doubles semifinal, where they lost 8-3 to Adiya Abdugappar and Jenna Bohnert of Henderson State.
