DeMOREST, GA- The Millsaps Majors men's tennis team dropped a tough, hard fought match to the Piedmont Lions 5-4 on Friday afternoon.
The Majors would grab two key points early in the doubles matches. Malte Schick and Adam Tilly picked up a big win on the number one doubles' court. Thomas Mills and Sean Solomonoff would hold serve on court three and the Majors would take a 2-1 win going into singles.
Schick would win his singles match to give the Majors a big boost. However, the Majors would only be able to take one more singles' match. Solomonoff would win on court four, but it was not enough as the Majors would fall 5-4.
