JACKSON – After being regionally ranked for the first time in over a decade, the No. 10 team in the Atlantic South, the Millsaps Majors Women's Tennis Team lived up to their billing as they battled back from dropping the doubles point 2-1 to defeat the Spring Hill Badgers at the Coach Montgomery Courts, 5-4. The Majors improve to 11-4 on the season.
 
It was not a great start for the Majors Doubles Teams as both No. 1 and No. 3 dropped their matches. However, the No. 2 Team and No. 15 Team in the Atlantic South of senior Elizabeth Meyer and sophomore Callie Creekmore continued to roll and improved their doubles record to 13-2 as they salvaged a point for the Majors, winning 8-3.
 
The doubles duo of Creekmore and Meyer continued their terrific play at the singles matches as Creekmore rolled to a No. 2 Singles win 6-1, 6-4 while Meyer cruised in her match, winning 6-1, 6-0 to get the Majors back into the match.
 
After falling in doubles, freshman Deena Li Kam Wa and senior Lauren Williams bounced back in grand fashion. Williams dominated her opponent, taking a 6-1, 6-0 win as the match was tied at 4-4 with Li Kam Wa on the court for set three. Li Kam Wa took the first set 6-2 before falling 7-6 (2) in set two. However, the freshman commanded the third set to lead Millsaps to the victory as she took the final set, 6-2.
 
The women's tennis team is back in action tomorrow morning as they travel to Meridian to compete at Meridian Community College against Snead State Community College at 10 a.m. and Central Alabama Community College at 2 p.m.
