JACKSON – The Millspas Majors Women's Tennis Team accomplished something on Saturday afternoon that had not been done in over 10 years and that's defeat the Rhodes Lynx. The Majors jumped out to a 2-1 in the doubles matches before splitting the singles match to pick up their sixth consecutive win while defeating the No. 10 Team in the South Atlantic Region.
 
In front of a large crowd on campus, the No. 1 Doubles Team of senior Lauren Williams and freshman Deena Li Kam Wa and the No. 2 Doubles Team of senior Elizabeth Meyer and sophomore Callie Creekmore both rolled their opponents on their way to 8-2 wins to put Millsaps on top 2-1. Williams and Li Kam Wa's win came over the No. 14 Team in the South Atlantic Region in Alex Phipps and Carolina Sanchez.
 
In singles action, Williams continued her terrific play as of late as she dominated her opponent in the No. 3 match 6-2, 6-0. Li Kam Wa made an emphatic statement in the No. 1 singles match and defeated the No. 12 player in the Atlantic South Region in Maggie Donoghue. Meyer then clinched the match in the No. 4 match as she took set one 6-2 and then came from 4-1 down to take five straight games to win 6-4.
 
The Majors improve to 8-2 overall and have won six straight games, something that has not been done in over 10 years. The Majors return to action on Friday as they face off with the University of Mobile at the Millsaps Tennis Complex. First serve is set for 4:30 p.m.
