JACKSON – The Millsaps Majors Women's Tennis Team kicked off their first match at home as they welcomed in Louisiana State University at Shreveport on Saturday afternoon. The Majors continued their hot play as they dominated LSU-S in both singles and doubles to cruise to a 9-0 win and their seventh win of the season.
 
The day got started in doubles as the No. 2 Doubles Team of sophomore Callie Creekmore and senior Elizabeth Meyer gave Millsaps a 3-0 lead as they took the first six games in rout to an 8-1 win.
 
Meanwhile, the No. 1 Doubles Team of senior Lauren Williams and freshman Deena Li Kam Wa jumped out to a 3-1 lead in their match. LSU-S' team of Lauren Stevenson and Heather McCatchen battled back to take the next two games and tie the match at three. The Majors then broke set to take a 4-3 lead; however, LSU-S looked as though they were about to break the set back even as they went up 0-30.
 
Li Kam Wa and Williams turned the match around when they battled back and took the next four points to take the game and go up 5-3. They took that momentum and went the distance to win the match 8-4 and put Millsaps up 4-0.
 
Creekmore clinched the match for the Majors in the No. 2 singles match against McCatchen as she dominated 6-0, 6-0. Meyer was not too far behind in the No. 3 singles match as she continuously made her opponent move and wore her down with long rallies to win 6-1, 6-1.
 
Sophomore Laura Kebert broke set to start her match to take a 1-0 lead in the first set. It proved to be a big win, as neither could break set from there as Kebert won 6-4. She then came back in set two and cruised to a 6-0 win to pick up the Majors seventh point of the afternoon.
 
Li Kam Wa had a good matchup in the No. 1 singles match against Stevenson. Li Kam Wa continued to hit good shot after good shot and force her opponent into making unforced errors. She put her opponent away as she took a 6-2, 6-3 win.
 
Freshman Margaret Cosnahan finished it off for the Majors at No. 5 singles. She broke set and was able to get a 6-3 in the first set. In set two, Cosnahan fell behind early 1-0, but responded with three straight set wins and took the win 6-3, 6-3 to complete the sweep.
 
Millsaps improves to 7-2 and is on a five game winning streak. They prepare for a tough test on Wednesday as they travel to Clinton to take on the Mississippi College Choctaws. First serve is set for 2 p.m.
