Following a home match against the United States Sports University on Sept. 18, Millsaps will open conference play at the Sewanee Quad Match on Sept. 26-27, facing Sewanee and Maryville College in Tennessee. The team will then compete in October against several regional opponents, including Trinity University, Southwestern University, Oglethorpe University, Rhodes College, and others.
