Main Singles Draw / Main Doubles Draw

ATLANTA, Ga. - Playing in their lone tournament of the fall season, the Millsaps College women's tennis team racked up 10 combined doubles and singles victories at the Wilson/ITA Regionals hosted by Emory University, led by newcomer and 6th-seeded Stephanie Brown who rolled to the quarters of the main "A" draw.

Brown, in her first tournament representing Millsaps, defeated Ruddock of Rhodes, Vrabec of Emory and Kirsten Hillock of Emory (all in straight sets) before losing to Lindsay Reidenbach of Emory.
 
"Stephanie had a terrific debut tournament," head coach Jay Pacelli said. "A quaterfinal finish is a great run in a difficult regional. Stephanie has the ability to be one of the best players in the SCAC this spring with her tenacious play."

\#Lauren Williams\# won two consolation singles matches, including a victory against Davis of Methodist, while \#Allison Zakaras\# won a consolation match against Nicholas of MC. The David twins (Breanna and Brelynn) also won consolation "B" matches against Atkins (Oglethorpe) and Chaffin (Agnes Scott) respectfully.
 
"Lauren, Breanna and Brelynn proved to be athletic and competitive players who represented the college very well," Pacelli said. "All three (and the other players) have really upgraded our women's program".

Doubles victories by David/David in "B" draw and Anna Crousillac/Olivia Coats in "B" draw rounded out the weekend.

Overall, the women's tennis team served notice that it will be vastly better than the 1-21 team of a year ago and will be looking forward to the spring 2010 season.
