Hughes Paces Majors to 9-0 Victory over Belhaven

• Match Box Score

JACKSON -- Millsaps sophomore \#Campbell Hughes\# played inspired tennis in his first action of the season after returning from injury and the Majors rolled to a 9-0 victory over cross-street rival Belhaven College on Tuesday afternoon at Coach Montgomery Courts.

Millsaps (3-6) took an early 3-0 lead in the match with lopsided doubles wins, blanking the Blazers at No's 2 and 3, while winning 8-6 at No. 1 behind \#Alex Cummings\# and \#Russell Anderson\#.

Straight-set victories at No's 2-5 singles wrapped up the match for Millsaps, while \#David Bastian\# came from behind at No. 1 singles to earn a hard-fought 3-6, 6-3, 10-6 win over Gabriel Prado.

"We had a very solid effort from the team as a whole," head coach Jay Pacelli said.  "David (Bastian) had a great comeback victory against a worthy opponent.  Hopefully we'll look to string together a little winning streak."

The Majors will head to Mobile, Ala., for a pair of matches on Tuesday, March 17, taking on Campbellsville University and host University of Mobile.
