ATLANTA – A banner Saturday for the Millsaps men's and women's tennis teams led to the programs earning three SAA Weekly Awards, the league announced on Tuesday.

Sophomore Hamilton Jackson was named the Men's Singles Player of the Week, senior Grace Gaskins earned Women's Tennis Singles Player of the Week, and both junior Morris Kelly Clayton and graduate Maggie Dabadie secured Women's Doubles Team of the Week.
 
The awards were based off the Majors' Saturday triumphs while hosting Centre. The men won 5-4 and the women claimed a 7-2 victory.

Jackson provided the clinching point for the men in an instant classic, three-hour match. He won the first set, 6-4 and dropped a 7-2 tiebreak in the second to set up a decisive third. He broke his opponent's serve at 4-4 in the last set, allowing him to serve out the match at 5-4.

On the women's side, Gaskins defeated Katharine Sherman, 6-1, 6-1, pushing her record to 2-0 on the season. Sherman finished last season ranked No. 43 in the nation.
 
Clayton and Dabadie defeated Centre's No. 2 doubles team of Lainey Hill and Ella Rueff, 8-3 for the first point of the match.

Millsaps will next travel to face Birmingham-Southern on March 27-28.
