MAJORS TOP VIKINGS

JACKSON, MS- The Millsaps Majors men's tennis team rallied from down 4-1 to defeat Berry 5-4 at the Coach Montgomery Courts on Saturday. 

Senior Misa Pjevac was honored before the match and it would be his performance in his two matches on Sunday that proved pivotal to the Millsaps' win. 

The Majors found themselves down 2-1 after the doubles' portion with a nice win by Misa Pjevac and Sean Solomonoff 8-6 to earn the Majors' point. 

In singles, the Majors would drop matches on courts five and six to go down 4-1. Emerson Brundick would win on court two, 6-4, 6-4 to help start the comeback. Charles Rees would follow suit, winning in straight sets 6-4, 6-3 to make it a 4-3 match. 

That left the matches of Pjevac and Solomonoff, who had each gone to a third set. Solomonoff found himself down 5-4 in his match only to rally to win the final three games to even the match at 4-4. Solomonoff clinched the match with a back-handed passing shot that was one his finest all match long. Pjevac's match would decide the outcome and the senior wouldn't disappoint. He won 7-5 in the third to set off an eruption from the Millsaps' sideline. 

"A senior winning his final home match to clinch a win, it doesn't get much better than that," coach Jason Box said. "Against a conference rival too, it was awesome."

The win moves the Majors to 7-7 overall and 2-2 in the SAA. Tomorrow's match with Oglethopre has been cancelled due to weather. The Majors will head to Kentucky next Saturday to take on Centre. No time yet has been set for the opening serve.
