JACKSON, Miss.—As is the same in all sports, errors will kill a team. 
 
Despite having 11 more kills than the visiting Colonels, 35 errors doomed the Majors as they fell to Centre 1-3 on Sunday, falling to 6-9 overall and 1-6 in the SAA. 
 
Centre came into Sunday's match searching for their first conference win of the season. In the first set, with Millsaps leading 22-21 and trying to close out the set, the Colonels reeled off four straight points to take set 1, 25-22. 
 
Centre jumped ahead 10-4 early in the second set and Millsaps couldn't recover. After the Majors pulled within 3, at 15-18, Centre used a 7-5 run to take the second set, 25-20. 
 
Millsaps was determined not to be shutout, as they jumped out to an early 6-2 lead in the third, highlighted by 2 kills from Erica Bennett, a kill by Cailey Ness and 2 Colonel errors. Centre tried to answer, but every time they got close, the Majors shut the door, never allowing them to gain momentum. A Bennett kill, 2 aces from Payton Passantino and 2 more Colonel errors put the game out reach before Morgan Vincent finished it off and gave the Majors the 25-22 win. 
 
The two teams swapped 6-1 runs to start the third and traded points back and forth, neither team being able to build a lead. With Centre ahead 24-22, the Majors fought back and tied the set at 24. The teams traded points until 2 Majors errors sealed the deal for Centre, 28-26.
 
The Majors were led offensively by Vincent's 11 kills followed by Bennett's 10. Passantino had 4 aces on the day while Carly Trimarche led Millsaps with 16 assists. Defensively, Vincent led the way with 4 blocks while Passantino's 37 digs were a match high for both teams. 
 
 
What's Next?
 
Millsaps is on the road next weekend as they have hit the halfway point of SAA play. They'll head to Memphis, Tenn. and Conway, Ark. for matchups against Rhodes and Hendrix, respectively. Both matches start at noon.
