ATLANTA, GA- Millsaps picked up a key conference win on Sunday, knocking off the Oglethorpe Stormy Petrels 5-2 to move to 1-1 in the SAA. 

In doubles, Millsaps won two of the three matches, with Deena Li Kam Wa and Ashley Ford winning easily 8-3 on court one. Anna Brahce and Rachel Beck grinded out a 8-5 victory on court two and sent the Majors into singles up 2-1. 

Deena Li Kam Wa kept her strong season rolling with a straight-set win on court one. Ashley Ford fought back from dropping the first set to win the final two sets, and dropping only two games in the process. On court six, Reya Hayek cemented the win for the Majors, winning 6-4 in the third after splitting a pair of 6-1 sets. 

With the match decided and Millsaps needing to head back to Jackson, the teams agreed to leave the matches on courts four and five unfinished. Mary Claiborne-Sharpe was tied at 2 in the third set and Rachel Beck was up a set, when the match was called. 

Millsaps returns to action next Friday. The Majors will take on Belhaven with a first serve set for 4PM.
