JACKSON – The Millsaps Majors Women's Tennis Team continued its incredible season by reaching another milestone on Friday evening. As they Majors wrapped a 7-2 win over the LeTourneau Yellow Jackets, the Majors picked up their 10th win of the season, a feat that has not been reached since the 2007 season when the Majors won 12 games. Millsaps is also off to one of its best starts in recent history as they sit at 10-3 and atop the SCAC Overall Standings.

The No. 1 Doubles Team of freshman Deena Li Kam Wa and senior Lauren Williams were right behind them with an 8-2 victory to give Millsaps a 2-1 lead early on.
 
The singles were just as dominating as Creekmore made quick work of her opponent to cruise to a 6-0, 6-1 win at No. 2 Singles. Li Kam Wa was right behind her at No. 1 Singles with a 6-0, 6-1 win of her own and Williams clinched the match for Millsaps with a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 3 Singles. 
 
Sophomore Laura Kebert picked up a 6-1, 6-2 win at No. 5 Singles and Meyer capped the evening off with a 6-2, 6-3 win at No. 4 Singles to give Millsaps the 7-2 final.
