JACKSON, Miss. – The women's soccer team kept their season-opening streak alive tonight with a 7-0 win over Division I Alcorn State.
Dora Lambert scored early and often to put the Majors in control of the game. Her first came off a cross in the 34th-minute from Haylee Vomberg, which she buried right past the Alcorn keeper's left side, to put Millsaps up 1-0. It would be come the game-winning goal, but the Sophomore from Sylacauga tacked on two more before the end to get the hat-trick on the night.
Lambert scored again in the 40th-minute, right before the half, to give Millsaps the 2-0 advantage going into the intermission, this time off a rebounded save from the Alcorn keeper that easily found the back of the net after a soft touch to the left.
The Majors scored three more goals in the second half to put the game on ice. Grace Gramillion scored the third in the 49th-minute off a nice cross from Hayley Nemeth. Lambert scored her third and the game's fourth just two minutes later off a feed from Jessica Harris. Sara Millington got into the action with a cross from the far right side from Haley Hesdorffer that found the back of the goal in the 63rd-minute.
Whitney Murchison made it 6-0 Majors in the 87th-minute on a breakaway past the keeper for the easy touch in, and Hunter Futch closed out the scoring in the 89th-minute with a rebounded shot from the right side that put the final score at 7-0, Millsaps.
Millsaps outshot the Braves 24-9 for the match with Major keepers recording just five saves in the shutout victory. Sarah Nelin clocked 53 minutes in goal for the Majors with Molly Beth Jourdan claiming the final 37 in relief.
The Majors will head across town to take on the Mississippi College Choctaws this Sunday, September 12 for a 1:30 p.m. start over in Clinton.
