JACKSON – On a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Harper Davis Field, the Millsaps Majors Women's Lacrosse Team welcomed in the Berry Vikings in what would be a future conference matchup starting next season.

Berry got two goals back to extend their lead to six, but Millsaps added one more goal before the half as Williams struck again to make it a 12-7 game going into break.
 
Both teams went back and forth to start the second half as Williams and Jenny Miller exchanged the next five goals to make it a 15-10 game in favor of Berry.
