Pineville, La. – The Millsaps Majors Men's Soccer Team dropped their opener Thursday night to the Louisiana College Wildcats, 2-0.
The Majors, who threatened numerous times, could not get anything by LC's senior goalkeeper Eric Post. A miscue cost the Majors early in the first half as the Wildcats got on the board first thanks to an own goal in the 15th minute. Both teams battled back and forth, but the score remained 1-0 Louisiana College going into half.
Millsaps continued to put pressure on the Wildcat defense, but had nothing to show for it. In the 86th minute, Caio Sousa of Louisiana College put the game away for good as he scored his first goal of the season and put away the Majors, 2-0.
After the tough loss, the Majors return to action this weekend as they will travel to Memphis, on the campus of Rhodes College, to take on the University of the Ozarks at 2 p.m. on Saturday followed by a Sunday afternoon battle with Maryville College at 2 p.m.
