Adam Tilly earned 8-4 and 8-3 victories, respectively.
The Tigers rebounded to take all six singles points winning five of the matches in straight-sets.
Schick was the only Millsaps player to go three-sets at the No. 1 position by taking the first set in a tiebreak before falling.
“Great doubles victories started the match well against a quality team,” head coach Jay Pacelli said. “The consistency is singles play was not quite there, but it will come when the team is back at full strength.”
Up next for the Majors is a pair of home matches next Saturday against Northeast Mississippi CC and Meridian CC with play beginning at 9 a.m.
