Scots Drop Majors in Memphis

Memphis, Tenn. – The rough start to the 2011 season continued for the Millsaps Majors Men's Soccer team as they dropped their third consecutive contest Sunday afternoon to the Maryville Scots.

Both teams came out of the gate firing as nine shots were taken in the first 15 minutes. Sophomore Hayden Baker and freshman Cody Carpenter both sent shots towards goal but Maryville goalkeeper Zach Gutzman came up with the saves.

Neither team would let up after that, as the Scots (2-0) outshot the Majors (0-3) 14-8 in the first half; however, no shot could find the back of the net.

The scoreless half was thanks to a stellar performance by senior goalkeeper Dylan Broussard, who kept Maryville off the board in the first half as he picked up seven saves.

In the blink of an eye, the Majors found themselves down three goals in the second half as the Scots got goals from David Lethco, Ridge Carter and Tyler Tinker in the first 15 minutes of the second half to take a 3-0 lead.

It took the Majors nearly 30 minutes to get another shot off as the Scots clamped down on the defensive side. Freshman forward Chaz Ainsworth was able to get a shot on goal at the 72nd minute but could not capitalize as he was stopped by Gutzman.

The Scots went on to outshoot Millsaps 14-2 in the second half and 28-10 in the game. Broussard finished the game with nine saves. Baker led the way with three shots (two shots on goal).

The Majors return for their home opener on Friday as they look for their first win against East Texas Baptist. First kick is set for 7 p.m. at Harper Davis Field.
