MAJORS EDGE EAGLES

HILTON HEAD- The Millsaps Majors women's tennis team snuck by the Northwestern (MN) Eagles 5-4 to run their win streak to three and improve to 4-2 on the year. 

The doubles set the stage for what would be an exciting afternoon of tennis. The Majors grabbed a point on court one as Deena Li Kam Wa and Callie Creekmore rolled 8-2. The Eagles picked up a win on court three, as the match on court two went the distance. Laura Kebert and Bianca Suarez fell in a tiebreak 9-8, and the Majors were down 2-1 heading into singles. 

Li Kam Wa continued her excellent start to the season with a 6-3, 6-1 straight set victory. Callie Creekmore followed suit winning easily at 6-2, 6-0. Bianca Suarez wasted little time winning in fine fashion 6-3, 6-1. Northwestern would win on courts four and six respectfully, tying the match at 4, and putting the contest on the outcome of Laura Kebert's match. 

The co-captain didn't let her team down, winning a marathon three setter 7-6(1), 2-6, 10-4. 

"That was a huge win by Laura," coach Jason Box said. "It was the last match, she came out on top and clinched it". 

The Majors take Tuesday off before taking on the Milligan (TN) Buffaloes to close out their Hilton Head spring break trip.
