JACKSON - Despite scoring the match's first goal, the Millsaps College men's soccer team was unable to hold the lead as they gave up four unanswered goals and fell 4-1 to Haverford College in a non-conference match at Harper Davis Field Wednesday night.
Freshman \#Daniel Moise\# got the Majors on the board early in the first half when senior \#Andres Colocho\# got the ball from sophomore goalkeeper \#Dylan Broussard\# and played a pass that deflected off a Haverford defender to the feet of Moise.
Moise then dribbled past one defender and stepped away from the approaching keeper before tapping the ball into the open goal for his team-leading 8th goal of the season giving Millsaps a 1-0 lead just 5:59 into the contest.
The lead would not last long as the Fords tied the match 1-1 in the 22nd minute when Max Stossel lost his shoe in a scramble but was able to come away with the ball. With his shoe-less foot, Stossel played a pass to Julien Calas who dribbed into the box and took a shot that beat Broussard.
Haverford struck again in the 34th minute when Matt Gorski crossed the ball into the box and Chris Dioguardi beat the Millsaps defender to the ball and fired a shot past Broussard for the 2-1 advantage heading into the half.
The Fords carried their momentum into the second half and added to their lead by scoring in the 50th minute for a 3-1 lead. Tyler Freeman got the goal for Haverford and after dribbling past two Millsaps defenders he was able to poke the ball past the outstretched Broussard for the goal.
The best chance for the Majors to get back into the match came in the 60th minute when a pass from senior \#Brandon Mong\# intended for a wide open Colocho was cleared at the last second by a Haverford defender.
The defense of the Fords locked down on the Millsaps attack for the rest of the match allowing only three Millsaps shots in the second half. One of these shots came late in the contest when Moise got clear of the Haverford defense but was denied by goalkeeper Jamey Applegate, who finished the match with four saves.
Haverford added an insurance goal in the 84th minute when freshman \#Taylor Harrison\# attempted to clear a cross by Gorski but unfortunately put the ball into his own goal for a 4-1 lead for the visiting Fords.
Broussard recorded the loss in goal for the Majors making a total of seven saves in the contest. He falls to 5-3-0 on the season.
The Majors will take the next nine days off from competition as they get ready to face Birmingham-Southern College on Oct. 23 at Harper Davis Field. The match is scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m.
