Millsaps will have the chance to play five teams ranked in the region this spring, including No. 2 Emory, No. 6 Sewanee, No. 8 Rhodes, No. 11 Christopher Newport and No. 17 Mississippi College, to improve on its regional status.
The Top 35 singles players were also released on Tuesday, with All-SCAC Honorable Mention and sophomore Allison Zakaras sliding in the final spot. Zakaras had a strong freshman year, posting a 10-5 record at the No. 1 and No. 2 positions.
The Majors' first event of the spring is scheduled for Feb. 8 against Piedmont College.
