Sewanee, Tenn. - The Millsaps Majors Women's Tennis Team picked up their second win of the season on Saturday as they traveled to Sewanee, Tennessee and met up with the Piedmont Lions. The Majors came out with great intensity and fire as they defeated the Lions 6-3 before falling to Sewanee later in the day to go to 2-1 on the season.
 
The Majors took a 2-1 as they took the, always important, doubles matches over Piedmont. The No. 1 Team of freshman Deena Li Kam Wa and senior Lauren Williams and the No. 2 Team of sophomore Callie Creekmore and senior Elizabeth Meyer each dominated their opponents and took the match 8-1.
 
Millsaps also got solid performances from singles 1-4 as they all picked up wins. Li Kam Wa defeated Sailors 6-1, 6-4 for the fifth point that clinched the match for the Majors. Creekmore, Williams, and Meyer all played tremendous matches as the Lions on took four combined games in those three matches.
 
The Majors came back later that day and took on the No. 17 team in the nation in the Sewanee Tigers where they fell 9-0 in what would be a great experience for the team.
 
Creekmore put on a great show as she took on Michelle Flume, a talented and experienced senior for the Tigers. In a match that went three sets with average rallies of 15-20 balls hit, Flume was able to outlast young Creekmore in three sets.
