Fossen, Nguyen Grab Wins Despite 7-2 Loss at OU

ATLANTA, Ga. -- The Millsaps women's tennis team fell to 0-3 on the year in a 7-2 loss at Oglethorpe University on Sunday, despite a pair of singles victories from \#Beth Fossen\# and \#Mimi Nguyen\#.

In the season-opener for host Oglethorpe, the Stormy Petrels swept all three doubles points with 8-4, 8-4 and 8-1 victories and won 4 of 6 singles matches for the win.

"The team played hard and showed a lot of improvement in doubles," first-year head coach Jay Pacelli said.  "Unfortunately we couldn't pull out a win."

In singles play, Fossen played outstanding in just her second match at the No. 1 spot due to the loss of \#Alison Zakaras\#, winning 6-2, 6-0 over Sarah Beth Britt to pull the Majors to within 3-1 in the match.

Nguyen persevered in a tight one at No. 4 singles to earn a hard-fought 7-5, 2-6, 10-8 win, while freshman \#Lauren Williams\# was edged in another three-set match at No. 2 singles 7-6, 1-6, 2-6.

Millsaps will take five days off before its next matches, hosting Henderson State (3 p.m.) and Arkansas Tech (6 p.m.) on Friday in Jackson at Coach Montgomery Courts.
