Harding senior recognized

Harding University senior Rylie Cox Evans was honored by the Great American Conference on Wednesday as its women’s player of the week.

Evans reached 50 career singles victories after defeating Oklahoma Baptist’s Lin Xin Tan. She helped Harding secure at least a share of the regular-season conference title when she partnered with Emily Carpenter for a doubles victory against Southeastern Oklahoma State and earned a singles victory over Zulay Castaneda in straight sets.
