Memphis - After opening with a 25-23 first set victory over the Millsaps Majors, the Rhodes College volleyball team suffered three straight losses to fall in their first conference match of the weekend. The Lynx now turn to face Birmingham-Southern Sunday. With their victory over Hendrix Saturday, the Panthers have solidified themselves as hosts of the 2019 SAA Tournament. A win against the Lynx will earn them the outright regular season conference championship.

The Lynx took a dominating lead over Millsaps early (18-8) before the Majors tried to make a comeback. Rhodes found their lead cut when a service ace for the Majors tied the game 23-23. After a Lynx timeout, Millsaps committed an attack error before Lynx freshmen Kathryn Chambers and Gabrielle White teamed up for a block to win the set. 

Millsaps scored the first five points of the second set. Three straight Lynx points cut the lead to two but the Majors went on an 8-3 run and lead by seven. After a Rhodes timeout, Millsaps went on to tie the game with their 25-16 win. The third set saw 11 tied scores with the last being 22-22. Two Lynx attack errors and a kill from Millsaps finished the set. The fourth set saw six ties. Tied 12-12, a 7-2 broke open the set for the Majors who led 19-14. Back-to-back Lynx kills from Emily Korba and Tyler Feddema helped Rhodes get back within two points and later a huge cross-court kill from Korba cut Millsaps lead to one (21-20). Millsaps scored three unanswered points but Korba finished a long rally for Rhodes with a kill before Millsaps finished the final set 25-21.

Each team totaled 10 team blocks. Libero Marissa Hall led the game with 28 digs and three service aces while Korba led Rhodes with 11 kills. In blocking, Chambers finished with six block assists while White totaled five.
