BIRMINGHAM,
Ala. – Millsaps had its toughest
outing to date in the SCAC Central/West Divisional hosted by

One of those
moments came in the second
set against 7th-ranked Trinity University, as the team
picked up a 25-23 win. Another bright spot came against another
nationally ranked team, as the Majors went five-sets with 16th-ranked
Southwestern University. Millsaps
hung tough with the Lady Pirates and fell 25-20, 20-25,
14-25, 25-19
and 12-15.
Leading
the team in the tournament was sophomore Kate
Hall with 40 kills, seven service aces, six blocks and 17 digs.
Freshman Maggie Tumminello also had a strong showing with 24 kills and 58 digs.
Rounding out the offense was sophomore Hailey
Miranda who
had 86
assists and 14 kills.
