JACKSON – Senior Bobbi Jones netted her fifth goal of the season, connecting on the corner kick delivered by Jessica Harris in the 65th minute, to break a 1-1 tie and lead Millsaps College to a 3-1 victory Sunday afternoon at Harper Davis Field.

“I thought we played pretty well,” sixth-year head coach Paul Van Hooydonk said. “We got a little unlucky with some of the balls that were on the net, but we got the 3-1 victory which is what we needed.”

Elizabeth Sooby posted her second start to finish game in net, stopping two of the three shots taken by the Lady Lions. Sooby improved to 8-1-1 in her last 10 when starting in net for the Majors. Despite the loss, Katelyn Induni made some very nice saves for Piedmont against the Majors, stopping eight goals.

Millsaps had some great opportunities missed before junior Megan Sullivan capitalized for her third goal of the season 22 minutes into the first half. Piedmont got a goal from Justine Clay in the 33rd minute to get the game tied going into to the half. The Majors then stepped up and shut down the Lady Lions on defense, while scoring two more late in the second half to secure the victory.

After Jones' game-winning goal, she proceeded to set up Leslie Robichaux's fourth goal of the season in the 76th minute to secure the 3-1 victory for the team.

Millsaps will now hit the road to take on LeTourneau University for a 7 p.m. kickoff before hosting cross-street rival Belhaven College on Sept. 19. That game time is slated for an 8 p.m. start at Harper Davis Field.
