SEWANEE, Tenn. – Millsaps had another tough outing in the SCAC East/Central Cross Divisional hosted by Sewanee, losing three very close matches to Centre, DePauw and Rhodes to finish the weekend at 1-3 overall.

Hall had four kills, two aces, two total blocks and three digs, while Manley had three kills, two aces and four total blocks.

The trend of close matches continued until the team snapped a two-match losing streak with a 3-1 victory over Oglethorpe (25-22, 25-16, 24-26, 25-21). Hall led the way with 13 kills, five digs and three aces and Tumminello had another strong showing with 12 kills and 21 digs – her 10th double-double of the year.

Unfortunately for the Majors, they were not able to wrap up the weekend with a win, falling to Rhodes College 3-1 by scores of 23-25, 25-19, 17-25 and 17-25. Again it was the tag team of Hall and Tumminello leading the way offensively.
