LAGRANGE, Ga. --- Huntingdon College’s women’s tennis team defeated Spelman College, 5-3, in Saturday’s Great South Athletic Conference semifinals contest on LaGrange College’s campus. The Lady Hawks will try to redeem their only GSAC regular-season loss on Sunday, May 1, against number one seeded Agnes Scott College beginning at 3:30 p.m Eastern in the title match.

After the early struggles in doubles competition, Huntingdon took a three point lead, 5-2, into the No. 6 singles match. Spleman’s Alana McKinney posted the Jaguars’ only singles' point over Huntingdon’s Kati Bryant, 7-6, 6-2, but the Lady Hawks had already claimed the GSAC semifinals win.
