Majors Lose Final Game to Oglethorpe 3-2

JACKSON, Miss-In the Season finale, the Majors lost a close but heated match to the Petrals 3-2, to finish the year 0-10 in the SCAC conference.

In a game riddled with penalties and short tempers, Millsaps took advantage early, when Johannes Schotmann scored on a sweet penalty kick to put the Majors ahead 1-0 in the 13th minute. The Petrals scored a goal in the 23rd minute, leaving the game tied at 1-1 going in to the half.

The second half started off with a bang for the Majors, as they were again able to capitalize on a foolish Petral penalty. Senior Phil Guillot took the penalty shot for Millsaps putting them back in the lead 2-1, and making Harper Davis Field electric with excitement.

However Guillots exciting goal would not hold up in the end, as Oglethorpe struck back quickly in the second half with goals in the 78th & 80th minute putting them back on top 3-2.

The Majors and Petrals combined for 37 fouls and seven cards, one of which for the Petrals was an ejection. The Petrals only had one more shot on goal than the Majors, and outshot them 14-11.

It was the last game for Seniors Riley Manning, and Phil Guillot, both of whom started and played exceptionally well. Guillot had his only goal of the season today.

The Majors have many bright spots to look forward to next year, this is a relatively young team, who overtime has potential to be a force to be reckoned with in the SCAC.
