JACKSON- Millsaps women's basketball head coach Chuck Winkelman has released the Majors 2013-14 women's basketball schedule.
The defending co-regular season champions feature a strong non-conference schedule that sees the Majors away from the friendly confines of the Hangar Dome for the first eight games of the season.
"This is a tough non-conference schedule," Coach Winkelman said. "Two trips to Texas, the Berry Tip-Off and playing at Louisiana College is going to be tough, but it will prepare us to defend our SAA conference championship."
Millsaps opens the season on Friday, November 15th at the Berry Tip-Off Classic against Agnes Scott. The first of two match-ups with Covenant College follows on the 16th, also at Berry.
The Majors face the wildcats of Louisiana College on November 18th in Pineville, a return game for the Majors who hosted LC to open the season last year.
After trips to Rust and Covenant, the Majors open SAA play on December 1st as they travel to Birmingham to take on the Birmingham Southern Panthers.
The first of two Texas trips start the following weekend with visits to the University of Dallas and Austin College. The Majors lone home game in December is on the 18th as the Ladies of Centenary College come to Jackson for a non-conference tilt.
After a holiday break, Millsaps heads backs to Texas to ring in the new year with games against Texas Lutheran and Southwestern on the second and third, respectfully.
Conference play dominates the final two months of the schedule as SAA play re-opens on January 10th against Centre and runs through February 23rd with a home game against Oglethorpe.
