Utilizing an entire team effort, the Millsaps volleyball team (3-7, 1-2 SCAC) cruised in its home opener with a win 3-0 over LeTourneau (30-11, 30-26, 30-10) at the Hanger Dome Saturday afternoon.

Saturday evening was a five game thriller, as Millsaps defeated Texas-Tyler (26-30, 32-30,) . The play of senior middle Jen Pujol and junior opposite/setter Renee Green was spectacular. Pujol lit it up offensively hitting .300 and .348 against LeTourneau and Texas-Tyler.

"She has demonstrated such discipline in her play this year, she becoming a solid middle for us," said Head Coach Matt Linebarger. Green came up with two huge solo blocks in game four and five.

"I give our players a lot of credit tonight after last week's performance because I don't think we could have played any worse. They didn't execute on any level of the match so we had a big team discussion to talk about trust, why we are here and what our goals are. So I give our kids credit...they responded tonight," said Linebarger.

They played with a lot of passion and a lot of heart. If they come out and play to that degree of enthusiasm every night then we will turn our season around in no time."

Millsaps travels to San Antonio Thursday to compete in the first SCAC Cross Divisional Tornament. The first match is scheduled for Friday against Rose-Hulman at 11:00 AM.
