Millsaps Downs Colorado College, Advances to Fifth Place Match
Majors to face Oglethorpe University at Noon Sunday at DePauw University


April 26, 2008

GREENCASTLE, Ind. – The Millsaps men's tennis team continued their fine play at the SCAC Championships, defeating Colorado College 6-3 this afternoon at the DePauw tennis courts to advance to the 5th place match tomorrow against Oglethorpe University.

The Majors once again won the doubles point by a 2-1 score, thanks in part to wins at No's 1 and 3 with Campbell Hughes/Tim Shoptaugh and Wes Hill/Murphey Parker.

Hill then gave Millsaps a 3-1 lead in the match with a straight-set win at No. 5 singles, downing Nick Kreczko by a 6-1, 6-2 score. Chris Rolen and Trevor Harris followed with losses and No's 4 and 6 to allow CC to knot the score at 3-3 before Parker finally closed out his match with a tiebreak win for a 4-3 lead that the Majors would not surrender.

Hughes continued his undefeated ways, coming back from one set down to win 6-2 in the third set and move the score to 5-3, while Shoptaugh finished the score with a third set win to secure the 6-3 victory for Millsaps.

Despite what happens tomorrow in the 5th place match against OU, the Majors have improved again for the fifth-straight season. That match will kick off at noon EST.
