Memphis, Tenn. – The Millsaps Men's Soccer Team struggled to find the back of the net again as they fell to the Ozarks on the campus of Rhodes College, 2-0 on Saturday afternoon.
Sophomore Michael Pellisier got the first shot on goal off in the first half for Millsaps (0-2) but was denied by Ozarks' goalkeeper Neil Thompson. The Eagles (1-0) held possession for most of the first half and fired two shots at junior goalkeeper Stephen Andrieu who came up with the save on both.
However, the Eagles would strike in the 37th minute as Cesar Cuevas found the back of the net for the early 1-0 advantage. Less than a minute later, Cuevas found his teammate Eloy Salgado and in the blink of an eye, it was 2-0 in favor of the Ozarks going into half.
Junior Alex Szabo attempted a shot at goal early in the second half but Thompson kept the clean sheet. Andrieu was sold defensively in the second half, making four saves. Millsaps struggled to get any offense going in the second half as the Eagles continued to hold possession leading to the victory.
Millsaps got off five shots for the game and only two on target as the Ozarks shot 16 times with eight of them on goal. Andrieu picked up six saves in his outing.
The Majors return to action on Sunday in Memphis as they look to pick up their first win against Maryville College at 2 p.m.
