JACKSON - Led by two goals from freshman Daniel Moise, the Millsaps College men's soccer team held on to defeat Southwestern University 3-2 at Harper Davis Field Friday night to improve to 7-5 overall and 2-3 in the SCAC.

The Pirates got on the scoreboard first when Josh Spencer collected the rebound from a shot that hit off the crossbar and buried the ball into the goal for a 1-0 lead in the 6th minute.

However, tt only took the Majors ten minutes to come up with the equalizer as \#Daniel Moise\# converted on a penalty kick for his sixth goal of the season after senior \#Andres Colocho\# was taken down in the penalty area.

Southwestern applied tremendous pressure to the Millsaps defense as they earned five corner kicks in a span of 2:10, but were unable to get the ball past goalkeeper \#Dylan Broussard\#.

With only 5:16 remaining in the half, senior \#Justin Burns\# played a perfect through pass to Moise who side stepped the onrushing goalkeeper and slid the ball into the open goal for his second goal of the match giving the Majors a 2-1 lead heading into halftime.

Senior \#Brandon Mong\# scored his second goal of the season after he came away from a scramble with the ball and fired a shot that sailed over the head of Southwestern's Pierce and into the back of the net increasing the Millsaps lead to 3-1 just 3:13 into the second half.

Things turned very physical from this point forward and the Pirates cut the lead to 3-2 when Spencer scored his second goal of the match with seven minutes remaining.

The match remained heated and with 1:22 remaining in regulation Southwestern thought they scored the tying goal, but after the center official talked things over with his assistant they deemed the scoring player to be offsides and the goal was disallowed.

Millsaps held on to the 3-2 advantage for the important conference victory.  Freshman \#Stephen Andrieu\# is credited with the win after he entered the match for Broussard, who left with an injury after making four saves, late in the first half.  Andrieu improves to 2-3 on the season after recording five saves in the contest.

The Majors remain home for a match this Sunday as the No. 8 ranked Trinity University Tigers roll into town.  The match is scheduled to begin at 11:00 a.m.
