JACKSON, Miss. – The Millsaps College football program announced the release of its 2018 season schedule on Monday.
  
Head Coach Aaron Pelch and the Majors will face a ten-game slate that features the eight SAA contests and two non-conference matchups.

Millsaps opens up the season under the lights on Thursday, August 30^th with the Riverside Rumble across town at rival Belhaven University. Week two the Majors welcome Westminster College (Mo.) to Harper Davis Field for the home opener.

"We always look forward to the Riverside Rumble as our kickoff game, and this year is no different," said Coach Pelch. "Also, playing Westminster will be a nice change and an opportunity for us to take on an unfamiliar opponent at the beginning of the season," he continued.

From there the schedule shifts to SAA play as Millsaps hits the road for games against Trinity University (Texas) and Sewanee.

The Majors return home on September 29^th for the conference home opener against Rhodes College. After their bye-week Millsaps will entertain Austin College on Saturday, October 13^th as a part of Homecoming Weekend.

After traveling to Berry and Centre, the calendar changes to November and the Majors wrap up the 2018 regular season at home against Birmingham Southern and Hendrix.

"We are excited to see how our young team grows in the off-season this year," said Coach Pelch. In 2018 we have the largest roster coming back that Millsaps has had in several years, and a very talented one at that. After graduating just ten players last year, we have a lot of experience returning, especially on the defensive side of the ball," he continued.
