MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The No. 40-ranked Harding men's tennis team displayed its depth and dominant form Tuesday afternoon, rolling to a 6-1 victory over Christian Brothers at the Leftwich Tennis Center.

The Bisons (11-6) swept the doubles point and claimed five of the six singles matches to secure their second consecutive win.

Doubles Sweep

Singles Dominance
