Majors Drop a Pair in Mobile Despite Zakaras' Return

MOBILE, Ala. -- Junior Allison Zakaras returned to the Millsaps lineup after a five week absence and earned a pair of wins in doubles and singles but is wasn't enough as the visiting Majors dropped a pair of matches Tuesday afternoon against Campbellsville University (Ky.) and host University of Mobile.

Millsaps (1-11) opened the day with a narrow, 5-4 loss to Campbellsville, having to forfeit important wins at No. 3 doubles and No. 6 singles due to just five players.  The lack of two players hurt the Majors and likely cost them their second win of the season.

\#Lauren Williams\# and Zakaras took down the pair of Jess Kirby and Caroline Thomas at No. 1 doubles, 8-5, before the Majors lost a close, 8-6 decision at No. 2 in falling down 2-1 in the match. 

Trailing 4-1 in the match, wins at No's 1-3 singles behind Zakaras, Williams and \#Shelby White\# brought the match all square at 4-4 before Meredith Coffey and Campbellsville earned a 6-0, 6-3 decision at No. 4 singles to earn the tough, 5-4 victory.

In the nightcap, host Mobile needed just five wins to clinch victory in a 5-0 decision.

After sweeping the doubles points, one by forfeit, Mobile and Millsaps played only until someone clinched victory, which was Zelie Pfeiffer taking down Williams at No. 2 singles 6-0, 6-1.  Four of the five singles matches did not finish and will not affect the players' record.

The Majors will take a full week off before returning to the courts on Wednesday, Mar. 25 at rival Mississippi College.  First serve is set for 2 p.m.
