JACKSON, Miss— The Millsaps women's soccer team bounced back from a tough loss against Mississippi College on Sunday, and pulled out a last-minute 3-2 victory over cross-town rival Belhaven University.

A Belhaven foul gave the Majors an opportunity to score in the eleventh minute, when junior midfielder, Jessica Harris, scored off of a free kick from sophomore defender, Margaret Eggers, pushing the Major's to a 1-0 lead.

Minutes later, the Majors increased their lead to 2-0 when junior, Courtney Sykes, delivered a soaring cross from her defensive position to Grace Gremillion, a freshmen forward, who tucked the ball in the back of the net for her first college career goal.

Belhaven quickly returned the favor as Sanje Pernie blazed through the Major's defense, finishing with a quick strike, cutting the Majors lead to 2-1 and pulling Belhaven within one goal at the half.

In the second half, the Majors gave up a tough goal to Krista Brizeno to tie the game at two goals apiece. Brizeno threatened again in the 59th minute, but Millsaps senior goalkeeper, Sarah Nelin, came up with a huge save to shift the momentum of the game back to the Majors.

Freshmen, Whitney Murchison, shut the door on the Blazers in the final minutes of the game to secure a Major victory. Murchison chased the ball down into the corner and whipped it across the box, where it was deflected off of a Belhaven defender and into the goal. Murchison was credited with the game-winning goal, locking in a 3-2 victory for Millsaps.

The Majors outshot Belhaven 10-7, and had an astonishing 12-1 ratio of corner kicks over Belhaven, yet failed to take advantage of any of those opportunities. Belhaven led in fouls at 9-6 over Millsaps. The goalkeepers from both sides showed a strong performance at four saves each in 90 minutes.

The Majors improve to a 5-1 record and are set to take on the ladies of Centenary College, whose record currently stands at 1-4, on September 19th at 2:00 pm in Shreveport, Louisiana.
