Men's Lacrosse falls 21-3 to Centre

JACKSON, Miss. - The Millsaps men's lacrosse team continues to search for their first win of the season, falling 21-3 to the Centre Colonels.

Hunter Stevison scored the game's first goal to give the Majors (0-11, 0-6 SCAC) the early 1-0 lead, taking advantage of a Colonel's penalty with 12:14 remaining in the first quarter.

The Colonels (3-7, 2-3 SCAC) got the evener two minutes later as Scott Hughes connected with Zack Connors in front of the net to tie the game at one goal apiece. They went on to score nine more unanswered goals in the quarter to take control of the game.

Ryan McKay scored the first goal of the second quarter for the Majors to cut the deficit to 10-2, but the Colonels got three more before the half to take a 13-2 lead into the break.

Brandon Allison scored the final Majors' goal with 13:18 left in the third quarter. Centre ended the game with seven more before the final horn to reach the final of 21-3.

Chris Hood, again, did all he could do to keep the Colonels from scoring but was overwhelmed by sheer volume. The Colonels got off 61 shots in the game compared to just 13 for the Majors. Millsaps had troble moving the ball, getting 11-of-20 clear attempts and allowing Centre to win the ground war 46 ground balls to 31.

The Majors will have one last chance to get the program's first win in NCAA competition this weekend as they host the University of the South Tigers in the regular-season finale. The game is slated for a 1:00 p.m. start time at Harper Davis Field.
