JACKSON – On Senior Day at Harper Davis Field on Sunday afternoon, visiting Sewanee got an early goal from Lizzie Butler in the game's opening 18 minutes and added two more late to come away with a 3-0 road win over host Millsaps.
Sewanee (9-5-1, 5-3 SCAC) outshot the Majors 24-8 on the afternoon and earned seven more corners, constantly putting pressure on Millsaps keeper Elizabeth Sooby.
Audrey Jernigan provided a majority of the attack for the visiting Tigers, firing a game-high six shots and scoring her sixth goal of the year in the 55th minute to make it 2-0. Evey Gannaway would follow in the 72nd minute to cap the scoring.
Senior Erin Sanford fired four shots for the Majors, followed by Leslie Robichaux with two and both Hayley Barber and Meredith Harris with one, but Millsaps could not find the back of the net in getting shutout for the third time this season.
Sooby was hit with the loss for Millsaps despite nine saves, while Virginia Zakas picked up the win for Sewanee with three saves in 75 minutes of work.
Millsaps will play its final two games of the season next weekend, Nov. 7-9, traveling to Hendrix and Rhodes College. Those games will likely be webcasted.
