Majors post strong second half in 16-4 loss

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Millsaps women's lacrosse team traveled to Birmingham-Southern today for a SCAC contest.

Haleigh Williams scored the first goal of the game 11 seconds into the game after winning the opening draw, but it would be the Majors' only lead of the game, falling to the Panthers 16-4 at BSC.

The Panthers went on to score 11 goals in the first half to gain control of the game. Undaunted, Major goalie Madelyn Walker continued to battle her way through and recovered nicely in the second half.

The Majors' defense stepped up in the second half and Claire Stamm scored the first goal of the half to pull the Majors back to 11-2. The Panthers responded, however, scoring five more goals before Williams concluded the game with two more goals to set the final, 16-4.

The hat trick for Williams was her third of the year, she now has 22 goals on the season to lead the Majors. Walker finished the game with 12 saves. The Panthers fired 39 shots her way on the day, while the Majors managed 14. Held to just four shots in the first half, that number jumped to 10 in the second.

J.B. Page added two assists to her total for the season, those assists plus her 10 goals puts her second on the team in points with 34, two behind Williams.

The Majors will have three more chances to get their second win as they travel to Rome, Georgia next Saturday to take on the Shorter College Hawks in a noon matchup (11:00 a.m. Central).
