MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Playing a pair of regionally-ranked foes in Birmingham-Southern and Rhodes, who were tied for 7th in the latest ITA Polls, the Millsaps lady netters were held winless on their Memphis road swing which included a match against Centre.

Freshman \#Lauren Williams\# stepped up and played tough at No. 1 singles and doubles all weekend despite not earning a win, playing her best match against Meredith Mayfield of Centre on Saturday in a 5-7, 4-6 loss.

"Lauren was in a groove against some of the top players," head coach Jay Pacelli said.  "As a team, the women are working together and giving a very good effort, however, we're just really shorthanded."

Down to just four players the remainder of the season, Millsaps was forced to forfeit two matches in singles play and one in doubles, starting each match with a 3-0 deficit.  The Majors fell 9-0 to Centre, followed by 5-0 and 9-0 losses to BSC and host Rhodes.

Millsaps will hit the courts next Friday, April 10 in Sherman, Texas, taking on Austin College and Southeastern Oklahoma State University at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.
