SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Unable to rebound from two loses yesterday, the Millsaps volleyball team dropped matches to Birmingham-Southern College and host No. 14 Trinity University in the SCAC West-Central Tournament Saturday in San Antonio.

After claiming a pair of wins last Saturday at the Rhodes Invitational, the Majors were unable to accomplish the same feat today, falling 3-1 in each match.

In the day's opening match against the Panthers of Birmingham-Southern, Millsaps got off to a slow start falling behind 5-2, but rallied to tie the score 7-7 before taking a 14-11 lead. From there the Panthers found the attack and went on to win the first set 25-23.

In a wild second set, the Majors again fell behind early 5-1 and Birmingham-Southern continued to add to its lead. Down 17-11, Millsaps found a new gear and evened the score at 17-17 only to see the Panthers take a 23-19 lead.

With their backs against the ropes, the Majors made a valiant comeback and eventually claimed the second set 28-26 to even the match at one set for each squad.

Birmingham-Southern took control of the match in the third set leading from start to finish before earning a 25-20 set win.

The fourth set played out in a similar fashion with Millsaps falling behind early and never able to recover as the Panthers finished the match with a 25-20 set win for the 3-1 victory.

Facing defending SCAC co-champion and No. 14 ranked Trinity University in the tournament finale; the Majors came up with one of their most impressive matches of the season, despite the 3-1 loss.

The first set opened up much tighter than the rankings would indicate, but the Tigers overpowered the Majors late in the set to take the set 25-19.

Millsaps came back to tie the match at one set apiece with a thrilling second set victory 25-22, capped off by late kills from junior \#Kate Hall\#.

Despite keeping the next two sets close, the offense of Trinity proved to be too much for the Majors who dropped the third set 25-18 and the fourth set 25-16 to close out the match.

The Millsaps volleyball team will play host to Mississippi College on Tuesday, Sept. 22 at The Hangar Dome for its next match. The scheduled start time is set for 7 p.m.
