JACKSON – Junior Meredith Harris' free kick from 55-yards out in the 86th minute sailed over the head of Belhaven's Kristin Parson and for the first time in the modern women's soccer era at Millsaps, the Majors knocked off their cross-street rival 3-2.

Sporting its new white uniforms and winners of a school-record eight-straight matches overall, Millsaps showed determination in finding the game-winner late, fighting off three ties throughout the match to eventually come away with a thrilling victory at Harper Davis Field.

Freshman Jessica Harris opened the scoring in the 9th minute for Millsaps, netting her third goal of the year off a well-executed corner from senior Bobbi Jones. Belhaven found the equalizer in the 30th minute from Evelyn Torres, taking a Christin Kaim pass from just outside the box and drilling it in the bottom left corner of the net.

After the half, M. Harris brought the Majors back in front 2-1 when she came up from her defender position to score off a second Jones assist on a corner.

Once again, however, Belhaven found the tying goal in the 84th minute when Millsaps was whistled for a foul inside the box that set up a penalty kick. Dana Sullivan stepped to the mark and sent a shot past a diving Elizabeth Sooby to make it 2-2.

Just when it looked as if the game would go into extra time, M. Harris sailed a free kick from 55-yards out into the back of the net just below Parson and the crossbar – a thrilling way to end a well-played match from both sides.

Sooby needed just two saves to improve to 10-1-1 in her last 12 games, while Parson lost her first contest of the year to drop to 5-1 with four total saves.

Millsaps will put its unbeaten streak on the line Monday night, traveling to cross-town rival Mississippi College for a 4 p.m. match in Clinton. That game will be specially streamed on www.atwsportscast.com.
