Box Score
JACKSON - Playing against a Division I opponent on a cold, windy afternoon, the Millsaps College women's tennis team dropped its fourth consecutive match of the spring season at Jackson State University on Wednesday, 9-0.
Still missing their top two players, the Majors (0-4) lost another player when \#Morgan Shell\# withdrew from her No. 2 singles position because of recurring back troubles that flared-up in her doubles match.
The Tigers easily claimed the one doubles point (Division I rule) by winning all three positions by an 8-1 score.
Millsaps, forced to move players up a spot to fill in for Shell in singles, were outmatched against a quality opponent and lost all six singles points in straight sets.
Freshman \#Breanna David\# was the only player to force a tiebreaker losing 7-6 in her opening set at No. 2 singles.
"Playing short-handed, the ladies gave a great effort on a cold day against a tough DI team" head coach Jay Pacelli said.
The Majors will hit the road this weekend for matches against the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. and turn around Saturday morning to face SCAC foe Hendrix College at 8 a.m.
Millsaps will round out the weekend trip with conference opponent Rhodes College on Saturday with the match scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.
