JACKSON -- The 2008 edition of Millsaps women's soccer will go down as the best in the program's 22-year history, as they finished the year at 13-7 overall and 4-5 in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play.

The Majors officially wrapped up their season on Sunday afternoon in the Millsaps SkyBox with a banquet to honor the graduating class, the team and a handful of individual performances.

The historical season got off to a great start, with the Majors winning their first seven games (longest in school history) and outscoring opponents by a lopsided 26-4 margin.  They also had three shutouts during that stretch and would go on to a school record nine for the season thanks to senior goalkeeper Elizabeth Sooby and her line of defense.

In all, Millsaps enjoyed its best conference finish since 1994, second-best winning percentage (.650), best GAA (1.30), most goals in a season (44) and a single-season record of four league shutouts.

At season's end, Millsaps landed two selections on the All-SCAC Team in junior defender Meredith Harris and junior midfielder Leslie Robichaux.  Harris became the Majors' first First Team selection since 1997, while Robichaux was a Second Team honoree.  Robichaux was also selected to the NSCAA All-South Region Second Team, the first Major to earn the recognition.

Team-voted awards were presented on Sunday at the end of the banquet with the honorees listed below:

Most Improved Players:  Laura Gray, Bobbi Jones
Newcomer of the Year:  Jessica Harris
Defensive MVP:  Meredith Harris
Offensive MVP:  Leslie Robichaux
Most Valuable Player:  Leslie Robichaux
Most Valuable Teammates:  Ann Blumer, Elizabeth Sooby
