MAJORS EDGE LYNX

Memphis, TN- The Majors won four of six singles matches including a comeback win for Avinash Ananth in a big 5-4 win over the Rhodes Lynx on Saturday. 

The win moves Millsaps to 3-1 in the SAA and 13-3 overall. 

The Majors picked up a big point in a see-saw battle on court one in doubles. The freshman tandem of Diego Marti-Vertiz and Alex Centurion won the tie break 7-2 to pick up the Majors' lone double's point 9-8. 

In singles, Marti-Vertiz and Emerson Brundick picked up straight-set victories. Brundick wasted no time in his match, dropping just one game in the win. After Rhodes answered with two straight set wins of their own, the attention turned to courts three and four. 

Alex Centurion and Avinash Ananth both took set one in their respective matches. The Lynx would take the second set on both courts, sending both deciding matches to a pivotal third set. Centurion tied the match at 4 with a big 6-4 win in the deciding set. Anath's deciding set went to a tiebreak, tied at six games each. The freshman found himself down 5-3 in a race to seven before winning the final four points of the tiebreak and giving the Majors the comeback victory. 

Millsaps will look to continue their winning ways tomorrow in Conway, Arkansas when the Majors take on the Hendrix Warriors.
