ATLANTA – The Millsaps softball team was the lone Southern Athletic Association team to open the season 2-0 and two Majors were named the SAA Softball Athletes of the Week on Monday.
 
Junior shortstop Alli Nolen was selected the SAA Softball Player of the Week, while freshman pitcher and designated player Allana Vasquez was voted the SAA Softball Pitcher of the Week by conference coaches.
