MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The Millsaps College men's soccer team rolled to an 11-1 victory over Rust College on Sunday afternoon in the Rhodes College Classic, taking a 5-0 lead into the break and getting goals from eight different Majors.
Millsaps improved to 3-0 on the year, its best start in the program's 29-year history.
Freshman \#Hayden Baker\# picked up his first collegiate goal and first of the match in the 5th minute to give the Majors an early 1-0 lead, followed by back-to-back goals from fellow frosh \#Brandon Guichard\# and two more from senior \#Andres Colocho\# to end the half with a commanding lead.
Rust scored its lone goal of the match in the 78th minute before Millsaps responded with four goals over the final eight minutes to make the final 11-1.
\#Dylan Broussard\# improved to 3-0 in net on the year, making way for freshman \#John Robertson\# to play the final 45 minutes of the game.
The highlight of the match came in the 89th minute, when senior \#Taylor Holop\# scored his first collegiate goal as a Major in playing in his first match since 2006. Battling a leg injury his whole career, Holop grabbed a double assisted goal from \#Aaron Hyatt\# and \#Drew Dews\#, ripped off his shirt and then ran off the field in celebration.
Millsaps will put its undefeated record on the line Wednesday, Sept. 9 at 5 p.m., welcoming LeTourneau University to Harper Davis Field.
