Colorado outguns Majors 28-1

JACKSON, Miss - The Millsaps men's lacrosse team faced the SCAC-leading Colorado College Tigers today at Harper Davis Field.

The Tigers (6-0, 3-0 SCAC) scored 12 goals in the first quarter alone to overwhelm the Majors (0-9, 0-4 SCAC), 28-1.

Colorado College's Carson Christman had six goals on the day to lead all scorers. Steve Rijo, who had the game's first goal, ended the day with five. Six other Tigers had multiple goals in the game.

The lone bit of offense for the Majors came in the second quarter as Hunter Stevison took advantage of a Tigers' penalty to get one past the CC goalie with 3:50 remaining in the first half.

The Majors won 5-of-33 faceoffs on the day, most of them in the second half. They did finish the day with more sucessful clears with 11-of-18 to the Tigers' 8-of-8. Both teams were even on turnovers at 14 apiece. 

The Major goalies, Chris Hood and Patrick Wagner, played well, but couldn't withstand the sheer number of shots put their way. The Tigers outshot Millsaps 57-6. Hood finished three quarters with seven saves and Wagner picked up three in the fourth quarter.

Millsaps will take tomorrow off and try to prepare for the Southwestern Pirates. Sunday's game facesoff at 12:00 p.m. The Tigers will take on the Pirates tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m, at Harper Davis Field in a neutral site game.
