JACKSON, MS- Millsaps Majors' softball head coach Roland Rodriguez earned career victory 300 in the Majors' 3-0 win against Rhodes on March 22nd.
The win is yet another milestone for Rodriguez who is also the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference's (SCAC) all-time wins leader with 262. He has collected the wins at Millsaps and Trinity (TX), where he coached his first six years. He won the SCAC coach of the year in 2008. Ironically, he picked up win 200 of his career against the Lynx as well.
Millsaps left the SCAC to help form the Southern Athletic Association, which began play last season. Rodriguez promptly led the Majors to the first Southern Athletic Association conference tournament title, his fifth conference title as a head coach.
Last season, Rodriguez coached three players to the SAA All-Tournament team including MVP Emily Collins. Under Rodriguez' tutelage, Millsaps' first baseman Megan Yglesias was named to the Academic All-American team and Abbie Joiner was named first team All-SAA.
Coach Rodriguez now sits at 304 wins and counting. He and the Majors' host the Centre College Colonels this weekend.
