<\/p>\n SEARCY, Ark. \u2013 The No. 25-ranked Harding men’s tennis team opened its home slate in dramatic fashion Monday afternoon, outlasting Northwest Missouri State 4-3 at the David Elliott Tennis Complex.<\/p>\n In a match that spanned nearly four hours, the Bisons (6-2) relied on a strong doubles start and veteran resilience in singles to fend off the Bearcats (1-4). The victory improves Harding’s regional record to 4-2 and keeps them undefeated at home this season.<\/p>\n Harding set the tone early by clinching a hard-fought doubles point. While the Bearcats took the No. 3 spot, the Bisons’ top-tier pairings responded. The No. 4-ranked duo of Cian Mikkelsen<\/a> and Adrian Solorzano<\/a> cruised to a 6-2 win at the top flight, while Edoardo D’Arrigo<\/a> and Sebastian DeLasSalas secured the point with a 7-5 win at No. 2.<\/p>\n In singles play, the Bisons jumped to a quick lead as Luis Agullo<\/a> dominated at No. 6, winning 6-2, 6-0 to put Harding up 2-0. No. 31 Sebastian De Las Salas followed suit at the No. 1 position, dispatching Dominik Wijntjes 6-2, 6-1.<\/p>\n However, Northwest Missouri State mounted a fierce comeback in the middle of the order. The Bearcats claimed victories at No. 4 and No. 3 to pull within a point, eventually tying the match at 3-3 after a grueling three-set battle at No. 2, where Pavlo Vysotin edged out No. 9 Adrian Solorzano<\/a> in a final-set tiebreaker.<\/p>\n With the dual match hanging in the balance, junior Caleb Folse<\/a> provided the heroics at the No. 5 spot. After dropping his opening set 4-6 to Antonin Leborne, Folse displayed remarkable poise, roaring back to take the next two sets 6-3, 6-3 to clinch the victory for the Bisons.<\/p>\n The win marks a successful return to Searcy for first-year head coach Craig Kirchgessner<\/a> after a seven-match road swing to open the year.<\/p>\n Harding will return to the road this weekend, taking on Emporia State on Saturday and William Jewell on Sunday.<\/p>\n #25 Harding 4, Northwest Mo.
