Box Score

JACKSON – The Millsaps College men's tennis team faced Mississippi College Wednesday afternoon and dropped another tough match to the Choctaws, 6-3.

The Majors got on the board quickly when the No. 1 doubles team of \#Malte Schick\#/\#Alex Cummings\# claimed an 8-4 win.

MC won the remaining two doubles points to stake a 2-1 lead heading into singles play.

In singles, Cummings and \#Adam Tilly\# gave Millsaps two points with straight set victories but the Choctaws took the other four points in singles to claim the match 6-3.

“Alex and Adam played solid singles matches and the rest of the guys fought hard despite another tough loss against a quality opponent” head coach Jay Pacelli said. “We came up short on too many of the pressure points.”

Cummings has now won four of his last five singles matches to improve to 5-3 on the season.

With the loss, the Majors fall to 5-9 overall but have a chance to get back to .500 when they travel to Birmingham, Ala., for four matches in three days over the weekend.
