PINEVILLE, La. – Powered by senior \#Leslie Robichaux\#'s two goals, the Millsaps College women's soccer team opened up the 2009 season with a 3-0 victory over the Louisiana College Wildcats on the road.

Robichaux wasted little time in putting the Majors ahead, scoring in the fifth minute and again in the 18th.  Sophomore \#Jessica Harris\# added another insurance goal in the first half, which was more than enough for junior goalkeeper \#Sarah Nelin\# to protect.

The Majors came out of the gates with intensity as they pressured the WIldcats' defense and goalkeeper Emily Breaux with an early corner kick.  Less than a minute later, at the 4:45 mark, Robichaux scored on the first shot of the game with an assist credited to freshman \#Margaret Eggers\# for her first career point.

Millsaps continued the attack and Robichaux again found the back of the net at 17:21 of the first half, with Harris recording the assist.  Harris rounded out the scoring for the Majors with an unassisted goal at the 21:10 mark for her first goal of the season.

In the second half, the Majors continued to sustain pressure, but were unable to get a shot past the Wildcats' Breaux.  Nelin made her only save of the match in the second half to preserve the shutout for Millsaps.  The Majors fired a total of 26 shots, which forced Breaux to make 10 saves.  The Majors also dominated the WIldcats in the corner kick department by a total of 11-0.

Up next for the Millsaps women's soccer team is a home contest on Sunday, Sept. 6, against East Texas Baptist University.  Game time is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. at Harper Davis Field.  That match, as well as all home soccer matches, can be viewed live on the internet by clicking on the "Web Cast" link on www.gomajors.com.
