NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The Millsaps College men's tennis team finished the 2010 SCAC Championships right where they started the weekend, in sixth place, behind a 2-2 record with wins over Southwestern University and Centre College.

The Majors opened play on Friday morning as the tournament's No. 6 seed and took down the Pirates from Southwestern, 6-3.

In doubles play, Millsaps picked up its first two points of the match as the team welcomed back \#Campbell Hughes\# to the lineup.

Hughes teamed up with \#Alex Cummings\# for an 8-3 win at the No. 1 position while the team of \#Adam Tilly\#/\#Geoff Joseph\# won at No. 3 doubles to put the Majors ahead 2-1 going into singles.

Millsaps ran through the singles matches claiming straight-set victories in four of the matches to finish off the opening round win, 6-3.

Moving on to the quarterfinals on Friday evening, the Majors faced No. 3 seed Rhodes College and dropped a tough match 6-1 in a contest that was moved to the indoor tennis facility in Conway, Ark., due to rain in the area.

\#Malte Schick\# and \#David Bastian\# got the only point for Millsaps at No. 2 doubles with a 9-7 win and the Lynx swept through the first four singles positions to claim the 6-1 win, in a match played to decision.

The match was much closer than the scores indicate as the Majors forced long rallies and games but could not come up with the big points to swing the match in their favor.

With the loss to Rhodes, Millsaps dropped to the consolation bracket where it defeated Centre College on Saturday morning by a score of 6-3.

Despite gaining only one doubles point from the No. 3 team of Tilly/Joseph (9-7), the Majors were able to pull through with five singles points, three of which came in three-set matches.

Schick, Bastian and Joseph all won in three sets at the No. 1, No. 3 and No. 6 positions with Bastian and Joseph each rallying from a set down to give Millsaps the 6-3 win.

The final match for the Majors came Sunday morning as they faced Sewanee-University of the South for fifth place but they could not find a way to pick up the win, falling 7-2.

Hughes and Cummings earned their eighth win as a doubles team this season with an 8-6 win at the No. 1 spot.

The Tigers would claim the other two doubles points for a 2-1 lead going into singles play.

Millsaps lost five of the six singles points with Schick picking up the only point as he won at the No. 1 position 6-4, 6-2.

Sewanee claimed fifth place in the championships with the 7-2 victory over the Majors, who closed out the season with a 2-2 record over the weekend to finish 12-14 overall.

With its 12 wins in 2010, Millsaps finished with its highest win total since winning 11 matches in 2007.
