NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The Millsaps Majors Men's Tennis Team traveled to North Little Rock on Friday morning as they started the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament as the No. 8 seed. They got the day started, taking on No. 9 Southwestern, defeating them 6-3 to move on and face No. 1 Trinity University as they fell 9-0 to the defending champions.
 
The Majors got things started at doubles as they went up 2-1 thanks to wins from senior Malte Schick and junior Adam Tilly at No. 1 doubles while senior David Bastian and freshman Charles Rees cruised in their match at No. 2 doubles as both groups won 8-3.
 
The four from the doubles team continued to play well as Schick led things off at No. 1 singles with a 7-6 (7-2), 6-3 win while Bastian won a match via retirement, up 7-6 after one set at No. 2 singles. Tilly and Rees took points at No. 3 and 4 singles as Millsaps cruised to a 6-3 win, advancing to the next round later that afternoon against No. 1 Trinity.
