For the first time in 2019, the Millsaps women's basketball team will play away from the Hangar Dome as they head to Arkansas and Tennessee for a pair of road contests. They'll square off with Hendrix at 6pm on Friday night before heading to Memphis to take on Rhodes at 1pm Sunday. 
 
Last Time Out
 
For the first time since the 2014-15 season, the Majors have started their SAA slate 3-0. They started 2019 with a dominant 38-point win over Birmingham Southern on New Years Day. Against Berry, the Vikings were able to pull ahead early, by as many as 23, but the Majors rallied for the win before taking out perennial conference powerhouse Oglethorpe on Sunday, to stay undefeated and take sole possession of first place in the SAA. 
 
Dia Fortenberry led the way for the Majors as she averaged 19.0 ppg., 7.7 rpg. and came away with 12 steals in three games. For her efforts, she was named the SAA Player of the Week for the first time this year. Millicent Butler also had a big week, averaging 15.0 ppg. Because of their performances, Millsaps is now the only team in the SAA to have three players in the top-10 of scoring: Fortenberry (6^th-12.9 ppg), Morgan McCrea (8^th-12.1 ppg) and Butler (10^th-10.9 ppg).
