Robichaux Powers Millsaps Past Dallas with Game-Winner

DALLAS, Texas – Junior midfielder Leslie Robichaux netted a pair of goals, including the game-winner in the 60th minute, as Millsaps won its first back-to-back road games since 1996 with a 4-1 road win at the University of Dallas.

In her first time home since enrolling at Millsaps, freshman Jessica Harris gave the Majors an early 1-0 lead just 6:24 into the contest when she beat goalkeeper Jennifer Sippel. The goal for Harris marked her fifth of the year as she moved into a t-first in the league in points with teammate Bobbi Jones at 17.

After Millsaps took a 1-0 lead into the locker room, UD found the equalizer just 3:33 out of the half as Lucia Vera fired a shot past GK Elizabeth Sooby off a Meaghan Grant assist.

From there, it was all Millsaps, as the visitors outshot the Crusaders 10-3 and scored three goals over the ensuing 18 minutes. Robichaux was credited with her second game-winning goal of the season, adding another late goal in the 78th minute, in addition to senior Erin Sanford netting her fourth goal of the season.

Sippel grabbed 11 saves despite the loss for UD and Sooby moved to 12-2-1 in her last 15 starts with four saves (three in the second half) after surrendering just one goal. On the year, Sooby is ranked second in the SCAC at 0.76 goals given up a game.

The team now returns back to Harper Davis Field on Oct. 3 to host conference foe DePauw University with kickoff slated for 8 p.m. The weekend concludes with a Sunday match against Centre at 2 p.m. Both are apart of "Family Weekend" and can be watched live on the internet at www.atwsportscast.com.
