JACKSON- The Millsaps Majors women's tennis team dropped a tough and hard fought conference match to Birmingham Southern 5-4 on Sunday. 

The Majors took a 2-1 lead out of doubles. Deena Li Kam Wa and Callie Creekmore took care of business in an 8-4 win. Laura Kebert and Bianca Suarez followed suit in an 8-5 win of their own. Anna Brahce and Katie Wroblewski battled but picked up a tough loss in their match. 

As the match turned to singles, Li Kam Wa and Creekmore again went to work. Li Kam Wa steamrolled in a 6-0, 6-0 whitewashing. Creekmore roared back after dropping the first set to earn a 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 win. The Panthers would gain ground and knot the match at 4 apiece with three match victories. That set up an epic singles match for Anna Brahce. After dropping the first set 4-6, she battled back and forced a third set with a 6-4 win in the second. However, the Panthers' Lindsey Farrell won a close third set and deliver the Majors a tough loss. 

The Majors' record now stands at 1-1 and 0-1 in conference. They will join the men on a Texas road trip with matches against Texas-Tyler, LeTourneau and East Texas Baptist next weekend.
