JACKSON, Miss. – The men's lacrosse team played a solid game today, falling 16-1 to Southwestern at Harper Davis Field.

The Majors (0-10, 0-5 SCAC) kept the Pirates (5-7, 2-2 SCAC) close early on. Southwestern scored two goals in the first quarter, including a goal with 28 seconds left in the period, to grab the lead 2-0.

Millsaps responded with tougher defense in the second quarter as both teams jockeyed for position with neither scoring. The Majors' Brandon Allison connected with 1:26 left in the half to pull Millsaps within one, 2-1, off a nice pass in front of the net by Hunter Stevison. Unfortunately, the Pirates managed to get the goal right back with 38 seconds in the half to maintain their two-goal advantage into the half, 3-1.

The game got away from the Majors in the second half, despite continued solid play from Chris Hood in goal. Hood collected 20 saves on the day, including four in both the third and fourth quarters, but allowed 13 in the second half as the Pirates ran away with the 16-1 victory.

The Majors will return to action this Friday as they host the Centre College Colonels in a 7:00 p.m. match at Harper Davis Field.
