Volleyball Gets Much Needed Conference Win Over Rhodes

JACKSON, Miss. – It was a solid day all around for the Millsaps volleyball team, they were able to bounce back from Saturday's tough loss and won in four sets over Rhodes College Sunday afternoon (25-19, 25-15, 23-25, 25-16).

How It Happened 

The first set was evenly matched, going back-and-forth until Erica Bennett put up four kills to push the Majors ahead 22-13. Payton Passantino really caught fire in the second set, serving three aces and leading the defense with 16 digs. 

A strong third set from Bre Reed included four of her nine kills, but the Lynx were connecting all over the court, forcing the match to four sets. Reed stepped up again, this time in the form of blocks, totaling a team high of 8, and mollifying the Majors in the final set. Millsaps improved to 11-7 after dominating the match with 12 blocks and 45 kills to win 3-1.

Senior, Morgan Vincent, added four blocks and 15 digs defensively. Katelyn Thomas offered up 25 assists, while McKenzie Petricko led the team in kills with 14.
