SHERMAN, Texas – Junior Brandon Mong netted a pair of goals, including the game-winner in the 69th minute, and freshman Christopher Peyton added two of his own as Millsaps won its opening league game of the year at Austin College 4-2.

In a back-and-forth game between two evenly matched teams, the 'Roos were able to find the back of the net first just 4:47 into the contest to take a 1-0 lead. Alex Dawson was credited with the goal off a double assisted effort from Chris Stein and Luis Castillo.

Millsaps (5-5, 1-0 SCAC) responded with back-to-back goals from Peyton and Mong in the ensuing 20 minutes to take a 2-1 lead before Austin's Sam Temple found the equalizer just before half to make the score 2-2 at the break.

The match stayed tied the opening 23 minutes of the second half until Phil Guillot hit Mong for the go-ahead goal at the 68:19 mark. Millsaps would add another late goal in the 81st minute off a Peyton penalty kick to make the final margin 4-2.

Outshooting the 'Roos 22-15 for the match, the Majors pressed things offensively and scored four goals off 10 shots-on-goal. Domenick DiPaolo and Dylan Broussard split time in net, with Broussard earning the win after saving two shots and not allowing any goals. Grant Gosselin was hit with the loss for AC after saving six shots and allowing all four goals.

Millsaps closes out a two-day road swing on Sunday with a flight out to Colorado College (6-1, 1-0 SCAC). Game time is slated for 11 a.m. MST (Noon CST).
