Harding’s Bison and Lady Bison tennis teams both defeated the Hendrix College Warriors last week. The Bisons played on Oct. 6, and the Lady Bisons played on Oct. 7.According to head coach David Elliot, this was the Lady Bisons’ last match of the season, but the Bisons still have a tournament this weekend at Ouachita Baptist University.”Today we won all the matches fairly easy,” Elliott said. “Yesterday’s matches were much more competitive.”The Bisons won 7-2, and the Lady Bisons won 9-0. Both teams have three wins and zero losses for the season.”Our women were just quite a bit stronger [than the competition] in every position, and it showed,” Elliot said.Lady Bison players senior Fabiola Wisnesky and freshman Tracy Maré both said they really enjoyed the match.”I thought it was great; it was a really good experience to go out and play,” Maré said. “It was my first college match. It was fun. We all had a good time, and there’s nothing wrong with winning. That makes you feel good, too.”Sophomore Sammy Lhotak said that he enjoys the game and the support of fellow team members.”We all encourage each other when someone else is playing,” Lhotak said. “Just motivate each other, help each other out.”Looking ahead, Elliott said the main season will be in the spring, and they will have a lot more matches. Their goal for the spring season is to win games and do well in the Gulf South Conference.
