JACKSON – Closing out the regular season in style, the Millsaps College women's tennis team picked up a pair of 9-0 victories over Louisiana College and Rust College while dropping an 8-1 decision to Meridian Community College at home over the weekend.

Against the Lady Wildcats on Friday afternoon, the Majors gave up only two games in the nine matches to breeze past LC, 9-0.

Sophomore \#Mary Elizabeth O'Leary\# picked up her second career singles victory with a convincing 6-0 first set before her opponent was forced to retire early in the second set.

Facing the No. 15 ranked junior college team in the nation, Meridian Community College, Millsaps could not keep its momentum falling 8-1.

The only point for the Majors came at No. 1 singles as \#Stephanie Brown\# battled-back from a set down to even the match before claiming an 11-9 win in the super tie-breaker.

The Lady Eagles claimed the other five singles points with straight-set victories.

Saturday morning, Millsaps closed the 2010 regular season with a dominating 9-0 win over visiting Rust College.

The Bearcats were forced to forfeit two points but the Majors took care of business in the seven matches played dropping only one game as \#Allison Zakaras\# and \#Breanna David\# stepped-up to play the No. 1 doubles spot, winning 8-1.

Brown won her 11th consecutive singles match with a 6-0, 6-0 win at the No. 1 position and has not lost since she dropped her first official match on March 15.

“Having won five of our last eight matches, the ladies are starting to turn things up a notch as we get ready for the conference tournament” head coach Jay Pacelli said.

Next Thursday, Millsaps will travel to North Little Rock, Ark., to begin preparation for the 2010 SCAC Championships held at Burns Park, April 23-25.
