ARKADELPHIA, Ark. - Henderson State will look to get its first win in Russellville, Arkansas, since the 2005-06 season on Saturday afternoon when the Reddies take on defending Great American Conference champion Arkansas Tech at 1 p.m. in Tucker Coliseum. 

REDDIES REPORT
- Henderson State (4-1, 1-0) got its 2018-19 GAC campaign off to a strong start on Thursday evening when it ran past Southern Arkansas 63-42 in Magnolia. The Reddies held the Lady Muleriders scoreless in the first quarter and held SAU to just 11 total points in the first half. 

- The Reddies got good showings from Karrington Whaley, who had a game-high 16 points as well as eight rebounds, Hailey Estes, who had 13 points and nine boards, and Maci Mains, who dished out nine assists.

- Estes currently leads the team in both scoring (17.4 points per game) and rebounding (7.6 rebounds per game). She is currently fourth in the GAC in rebounding and seventh in scoring. Pink Jones is 10th in the conference in scoring (16.0), third in assists per game (4.2) and is shooting 53.8 percent from the field this season. Whaley leads the team in shooting percentage (65.3 percent) and is fifth in the league overall.
