RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. – After going 2-1 in their first three home Great American Conference matches of the season, the Arkansas Tech women's tennis team will travel to Arkadelphia, Ark. on Saturday for its first GAC road contest of the season against Henderson State.
 
The Golden Suns (14-5 overall, 2-1 GAC) are coming off a 9-0 straight set sweep over Ouachita Baptist (0-15 overall, 0-5 GAC) on Thursday.
