JACKSON – Led
by freshman Maggie Tumminello and sophomore Kate Hall, Millsaps

opener of the season.
After picking
up their first set win to Reinhardt, 25-23, the Majors lost all
momentum and lost the next three sets 23-25, 19-25

in the first set. Senior Sarah Exley had six kills to go along
with 11 digs, while also having a solid night was sophomore setter
Hailey Miranda who had 27 assists and 11 digs.
In the nightcap
against East Texas Baptist, the team fought valiantly but could
not overcome the Tigers, dropping three sets by scores of 25-22,
25-22 and 25-23. Millsaps was led by Tumminello who had 13
kills and seven
digs in addition to sophomore Mallory Clark who picked up 12 digs.
