Major Defense Shines in a Scoreless Draw

JACKSON – The game may have ended in a scoreless tie between the Millsaps Majors Men's Soccer Team and the Austin College 'Roos, but the Major defense made a statement, playing one of their best games of the season.

The likes of junior leaders such as Alex Szabo, Taylor Harrison and Drew Moroux along with young up and comers such as sophomores Micharl Pellisier, James Klugh and freshman Christopher Lawrence were aggressive, holding the 'Roos to only 10 shots with only two on them on goal. Both shots were saved by senior Dylan Broussard, who did a terrific job of intercepting crosses and making wise decisions.

Offensively, the Majors sent of 13 shots including four from sophomore Hayden Baker, but could not find the back of the net as keeper Grant Gosselin of Austin College picked up eight saves.  Millsaps was aggressive in the attack throughout the game. The Majors had a huge opportunity to break through in the second overtime when Pellisier sent a beautiful corner kick to Baker who headed just inches over the post to keep the game knotted at zero.

It was a hard fought, knock you down type of game as 33 total fouls were called and six cards were given out including a red card in the final seconds of the second overtime.

Though typically a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference opponent, this game did not count towards the SCAC standings.

Millsaps will have some time off and will not be in action again until next Sunday when they travel to Montgomery, Alabama to take on the Huntingdon Hawks. First kick is set for 2 p.m.
