Belhaven struggled mightily in game two as the Lady Majors exploded out of the gate for a 12-5 advantage. The Lady Blazers stayed within seven points of Millsaps at 19-12, but it didn't take long for the Lady Majors to put the game away 25-13 and earn a two games to none advantage in the match.
In game three, Belhaven regained some of the confidence and fire from this past weekend as they battled to stay alive in the match with a 25-22 win. The Lady Blazers were able to get their offense going and kept the Millsaps defense on their heels.
