Last week the Hawks and Lady Hawks took to the court in two Gulf South Conference tennis match-ups. On Thursday, the teams travelled to Alabama Huntsville where the women earned the win, 8-1, while the men fell to the Chargers, 8-1. Saturday, play shifted back to the Walt Attaway Tennis Center where the Lady Hawks topped the Lady Statesmen, 7-1, and the Hawks dropped the decision to Delta State, 5-1.
