Majors Open SCAC Play with Thrilling 1-0 Victory at Austin

SHERMAN, Texas – The women's soccer team opened up Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play with a 1-0 win at Austin College thanks to some last minute heroics from freshman Jessica Harris who netted the game winner in the 86th minute.

With both teams playing solid defensively and neither capitalizing on offensive opportunities, it was only until Harris' goal off a Megan Sullivan assist with under four minutes remaining that helped propel the Majors to their first conference victory of the season.

On the stat sheet, AC outshot Millsaps 19-11 and earned two more corners, but it was the visiting Majors who made the shots-on-goal count late for the win.

Senior GK Elizabeth Sooby picked up a season-high eight saves in net to pick up her eighth win and 11th career shutout, while the 'Roos Kaitlin Elledge picked up five saves in a losing effort.

Millsaps (8-1, 1-0 SCAC) continues a two-game road swing on Sunday at the University of Dallas (0-6-1). Game time is set for a 2 p.m. kickoff.
