• Match 1 vs HSU
• Match 2 vs ATU

JACKSON -- The Millsaps College women's tennis team dropped a pair of matches on Friday evening at Coach Montgomery Courts, falling 6-1 to Henderson State and 9-0 to Arkansas Tech to remain winless on the early season.

Due to a late start in the opening match against Henderson State (4-1), the match was played only until someone clinched victory.

Millsaps' \#Beth Fossen\# and \#Lauren Williams\# represented themselves well at No. 1 doubles to give the Majors their lone point, knocking off Meredith Massey and Theresa Nguyen by an 8-2 score.  HSU would go on to sweep the final two doubles points by 8-0 margins and clinched the match with straight-set victories at No's 3-6 singles.

In the nightcap, a very athletic and unbeaten Arkansas Tech (5-0) group swept through the match with a 9-0 victory, having little trouble in doubles and singles.

Fossen put up the best fight at No. 1 singles before falling 6-1, 6-3 to Anna Carson.

"We'll be primed for our first win next week," head coach Jay Pacelli said.  "ATU was a very physical team with a handful of good players and athletes."

Millsaps will hit the road next weekend in search of its first win, traveling to Tyler, Texas for three matches in two days.
