CLEVELAND, Miss. \u2013 The No. 41-ranked Harding men’s tennis team snapped a two-match skid in emphatic fashion Friday afternoon, defeating Delta State 4-1 at the Cleveland Country Club to conclude their spring break road trip.<\/p>\n
The Bisons (10-6) relied on a quick start in doubles and a pair of dominant straight-set performances at the top and bottom of the singles lineup to secure the non-conference victory.<\/p>\n
Doubles Sweep<\/p>\n
Harding wasted no time establishing control, sweeping the completed doubles matches to earn the first point of the day. The No. 3-ranked duo of Adrian Solorzano<\/a> and Cian Mikkelsen<\/a> returned to their winning ways at the No. 1 position, cruising to a 6-2 victory over Valentin Greco and Valentino Millimaci.<\/p>\n At the No. 2 spot, the tandem of Florian Gayme<\/a> and Jan Alexander Has<\/a> remained perfect on the week, dispatching Simon Ojeda and Alejandro Bravo Diaz 6-1. With the point already clinched, the No. 3 doubles match featuring Sebastian De Las Salas<\/a> and Edoardo D’Arrigo<\/a> was abandoned.<\/p>\n Singles Dominance<\/p>\n Harding’s veterans ensured there would be no comeback for the Statesmen. Adrian Solorzano<\/a> capped off an undefeated week in singles play with a flawless 6-0, 6-1 victory over Marti Cerda Castillo at the No. 1 flight. Solorzano’s victory set the tone for the afternoon and extended his personal winning streak to four matches.<\/p>\n Freshman Jan Alexander Has<\/a> provided the third point for the Bisons at No. 5 singles, defeating Simon Ojeda 6-1, 6-4. The match was eventually clinched by Sebastian De Las Salas<\/a> at the No. 2 position. After dropping the first set 6-2, De Las Salas showed remarkable resilience, winning back-to-back tiebreakers (7-5, 7-3) to secure the team win.<\/p>\n Delta State’s lone point came at No. 3 singles, where Juan Alzate outlasted Cian Mikkelsen<\/a> in three sets. Matches at No. 4 and No. 6 were abandoned once the Bisons reached the four points necessary for the dual victory.<\/p>\n By the Numbers<\/p>\n With the win, Harding improves to 10-6 overall and moves to 5-3 on the road this season. The Bisons have now won seven of their last ten matches dating back to late February.<\/p>\n #41 Harding 4, Delta State 1<\/p>\n Mar 27, 2026 at Cleveland, Miss.
