Box Score

JACKSON – Coming off a tough loss on Friday, the Millsaps College men's tennis team bounced back on Saturday morning to defeat the visiting University of Texas at Dallas in a non-conference match, 8-1.

The Majors jumped out to an early 3-0 lead by sweeping through doubles play and carried the momentum over to singles action.

Millsaps claimed five of the six singles points to earn the 8-1 victory and improve to 5-8 on the season.

At No. 3 singles, David Bastian won the first set before the Comets' Clint Laukhuf rallied to take the next two sets to avoid the match sweep.

“The team played with purpose after a disappointing match on Friday and went after UT Dallas” head coach Jay Pacelli said.

The Majors will take an extended break and be back in action when they host Mississippi College on Tuesday, April 6, at 4 p.m.
