Majors Tame Lady Wildcats 5-1 Behind Jones' Four Points

JACKSON – Senior Bobbi Jones picked up her first goal of the season to go along with a pair of assists as Millsaps College blasted visiting Louisiana College 5-1 on Friday night in its home opener at Harper Davis Field.

Elizabeth Sooby, Sarah Nelin and Molly Beth Jourdan each split time between the posts in a lopsidded affair on the scoresheet, with the trio facing just two shots all night compared to 20 on the other side of the field.

Millsaps (2-0) controlled the tempo from the opening minutes, scoring at the 6:11 mark when freshman Jessica Harris fired a shot past Lady 'Cats keeper Carla Lambert. Megan Sullivan and Jones would each add goals for the Majors to increase the lead to 3-0 before Ashley Woodall fired an unassisted goal over the head of Nelin just minutes before half.

Early goals from Kristen Massey (1) and Leslie Robichaux (2) in the opening 15 minutes of the second half put the game out of reach for Millsaps as they cruised to the 5-1 win.

Millsaps will look to extend its winning streak on Sunday as they host Agnes Scott at 1 p.m. in the first of two games at Harper Davis Field (men play at 4 p.m.) Catch Sunday's game on the internet via live streaming video at www.atwsportscast.com.
