Choctaws Send Majors to First Loss of Season in OT, 2-1

CLINTON – The undefeated streak has been snapped, as the Millsaps women's soccer team fell to cross-town rival Mississippi College in a 2-1 overtime loss on Monday afternoon.

Neither team was able to find the back of the net until the second half when senior forward Erin Sanford struck first for the Majors in the 46th minute. Sanford scored her third goal of the season on a breakaway which was set up by fellow senior Bobbi Jones.

The Lady Choctaws struck back though in the 71st minute of play with a goal from Kasey Ambrose to knot the game at 1-1 and eventually send the game into overtime.

The clock then struck midnight on the undefeated streak of the Majors, in the 95th minute of play, when Marley Bankston scored the game-winning goal off a Kimberly Kaim assist.

Senior GK Elizabeth Sooby made several amazing saves, a total of six on the day, in only her second loss in her last 13 starts. Sophomore Brittany Patrick had a good day in net for the host team, making three saves and only allowing the one goal.

The Majors open conference play with a trip to Sherman, Texas, on Friday, taking on Austin College at 4 p.m. The weekend concludes with a non-conference matchup at the University of Dallas at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
