<\/p>\n SEARCY, Ark. \u2013 In a match that came down to the final set on the final court, the Harding women’s tennis team secured its biggest win of the season Saturday, upsetting No. 40 Northeastern State 4-3 at the Elliott Tennis Complex.<\/p>\n Freshman Brooke Coffman<\/a> provided the heroics at No. 3 singles, rallying from a set down to clinch the dual for the Lady Bisons (3-7).<\/p>\n How It Happened<\/p>\n The afternoon began with Harding seizing the doubles point. The No. 7-ranked duo of Karli Roux<\/a> and Brooke Coffman<\/a> made quick work of the No. 33-ranked pair of Daisy Barrow and Renata Morales, winning 6-1. After the RiverHawks (7-4) leveled the field with a win at No. 2, the team of Ece Boylu<\/a> and Sofia Sarmiento Ruiz<\/a> clinched the point for Harding with a 6-4 victory at the No. 3 position.<\/p>\n In singles play, the lead traded hands several times as the depth of both lineups was tested.<\/p>\n
Sofia Sarmiento Ruiz<\/a> extended the Harding lead to 2-0 with a dominant 6-1, 6-1 performance at the No. 5 spot.<\/p>\n
Karli Roux<\/a>, currently ranked No. 33 in the nation, followed suit at No. 1, dispatching Renata Morales 6-3, 6-3 to put the Lady Bisons on the brink of victory.<\/p>\n
Northeastern State mounted a fierce comeback, recording straight-sets wins at No. 4 and No. 6, and a three-set victory at No. 2, to tie the dual at 3-3.<\/p>\n The Clincher<\/p>\n All eyes turned to the No. 3 flight, where Coffman was locked in a marathon against Sofiia Kotliarova. After dropping the first set 6-2, Coffman displayed the resilience that has defined her freshman campaign. She took the second set in a tiebreaker and outlasted Kotliarova in the third, winning 2-6, 7-6 (10-8), 7-5 to ignite the celebration in Searcy.<\/p>\n Stat of the Night<\/p>\n With her singles victory today, senior Karli Roux<\/a> moved into a tie for 14th place on Harding’s all-time career singles wins list. Her 63rd career victory pulls her even with Jessica Ruiz (1992-96).<\/p>\n #40 Northeastern State 3, Harding 4<\/p>\n Doubles Competition<\/p>\n
