ATLANTA, Ga.—Millsaps came into Sunday's match with Oglethorpe looking to, not only end a four-match skid, but also pick up their first SAA win of 2018. The Majors were able to kill two Stormy Petrels with one stone as they knocked off Oglethorpe 3-1 behind a monster match from Morgan Vincent. 
 
How It Happened
 
The first set saw Millsaps jump out to an 18-15 lead behind 5 kills from McKenzi Petricko. After 2 Majors errors and an OU kill tied the game, Millsaps took advantage of 4 Oglethorpe errors, a Vincent kill and a pair of kills from Noelle Coats to put the Stormy Petrels away 25-21. 
 
Game 2 was evenly matched, with both teams trading points back and forth, until midway through the set. With OU leading 14-12, they went on an 11-4 run to take the game and tie the match at 1 apiece. 
 
The third game started much the same, with neither team being able to pull ahead. With OU leading 20-18 late, the Majors rallied and took a 23-22 lead, thanks to an Oglethorpe service error sandwiched between kills by Petricko and Erica Bennett. An OU error and a Vincent kill gave Millsaps the 25-23 win and a 2-1 lead. 
 
Millsaps made sure game 3 wouldn't be as close as they jumped ahead 6-1 before OU called a timeout to try to quell the momentum. It worked, but only briefly as the Majors ended the game on a 10-3 run to close out the match 25-14 and pick up their first SAA win of the season. 
 
The Majors were led by Vincent with 17 kills, 4 blocks, 5 assists, 8 digs and an ace. Bennett added 13 kills while Gracie Bellnap had 28 assists. 
 
It Was Over When
 
Trailing 21-22 late in the third game, Millsaps kept their confidence and rattled off 4 of the last 5 points to take the set and deflate the home team.
