JACKSON, Miss. – Despite getting 20 saves from goalie Chris Hood on the day, the Millsaps Majors dropped their first regular season home game 19-2 this afternoon.

Hood collected his 20 saves, four shy of his season-high against Carthage, but the Griffons (2-7) had 39 attempts on the day to overpower the Majors' goalie with sheer numbers.

The Majors (0-8) were out-shot 65-16 overall and 39-8 with shots on-goal. The ground balls went 59-47 to Fontbonne as the Giffons won 20-of-26 face-offs in the game. Millsaps committed eight turnovers to Fontbonne's two. The Majors completed 14-of-20 clear attempts while the Griffons were a perfect 10-of-10.

The Majors' offense came from Kevin Tighe and Hunter Stevison in the second and third quarters.
With the Majors trailing 5-0, Tighe got his third goal of the year, unassisted, with 7:42 remaining in the half to prevent the shutout. Stevison added his ninth goal of the season with 11:21 left in the third, also unassisted.


The Majors will have another opportunity for their first win, and first home win, of the season next Friday, April 1, as they host SCAC-rival Colorado College at 1:30 at Harper Davis Field.
