Millsaps Falls to Emory 3-0 Behind Three Late Goals

DECATUR, Ga. – Three goals for Emory University in the final 11 minutes of regulation proved to be the difference on Sunday afternoon at Gellerstedt Field on the campus of Agnes Scott, as the Eagles handed Millsaps College its first loss of the year, 3-0.

In a game statistically dominated by Emory, the Eagles put constant pressure on the Millsaps defense and goalkeeper \#Sarah Nelin\#, owning a 30-3 shots advantage. Nelin finished the day with a career-high 10 saves, but also allowed all three goals in her first loss as a Major (4-1).

Emory (2-1-3), who was ranked No. 22 just a week ago, found the go-ahead goal in the 79th minute from Talia Dweck off a Kelly Short assist which proved to be the game-winner. The Eagles would add two more goals in the 83rd and 89th minutes to win 3-0, taking advantage of tired legs for Millsaps.

The Majors drop to 4-1 on the year with the loss, continuing a stretch of four matches in eight days on Friday, Sept. 18 at Belhaven College (3-1). Kickoff is set for 8 p.m.
