quest for the trophy
Mississippi College plays Belhaven today at Smith-Wills Stadium in the second game of the Maloney Trophy Series, which is back to a nine-game round robin this season. Each team plays the other three times. Belhaven has claimed the trophy the last two years and, as a nationally ranked NAIA school, looms as the favorite again this season over its two NCAA Division III rivals. However, Millsaps did beat the Blazers in the Maloney opener, and the Majors get four home games this time around.
Here’s the rest of the Maloney schedule:
Feb. 28 — MC at Millsaps; March 20 — Belhaven at MC; March 27 — MC at Millsaps; April 4 — Belhaven at Millsaps; April 10 — Millsaps at MC; April 17 — Millsaps at Belhaven; and April 23 — MC at Belhaven.
