HILTON HEAD, SC- The Millsaps' women's tennis team split a pair of tough matches yesterday, falling to Catholic 5-4 before rebounding to top Stockton 5-3. 

Against the Cardinals, The Majors jumped up 2-1 after doubles with a pair of tie-breaking wins by Deena Li Kam Wa and Ashley Ford at number one and Rachel Beck and Anna Brahce at number two. 

At the top two singles positions, the Majors made quick work of their matches with Li Kam Wa winning 6-1, 6-1 and Ford an even tidier 6-1, 6-0. But the Majors would lose three heart-breakers at courts 4-6. Mary Claiborne-Sharp and Rachel Beck each dropped a 10-point tie breaker while Reya Hayek fell in a second set tiebreak. 

Against Stockton, the Majors again jumped up 2-1 after the doubles' matches. And again Li Kam Wa and Ford took care of business in short order in their singles' matches. But Rachel Beck fought through pre-match cramps and a first-set tiebreak to win 7-6, 6-1. With the match decided, the teams agreed to let the match on court four go unfinished with the match split at a set each. 

The split moves Millsaps to 3-4 on the year. They will take today off before wrapping up their Hilton Head swing when they take on Quincy (IL) on Thursday.
