Centenary Edges Millsaps in Defensive Battle

JACKSON – An early second half goal by Centenary's Holden Penny is all it took as the Ladies knocked off the Majors 1-0 on Saturday afternoon at Harper Davis Field.

In a rainy, damp day thanks to Tropical Storm Lee, control was a factor for both teams as neither team could hold possession.

Centenary (2-0) attacked hard in the first half, putting up eight shots, but only two on target. Both attempts were negated thanks to Millsaps goalkeeper Molly Beth Jourdan. The Majors (1-1) were only able to get one lone shot off as sophomore Tara Johnston took a long shot at goal which was punched away by Centenary's Brittany Dunn as the teams went into halftime scoreless.

Penny's early goal in the second half seem to resurge the Major offense as they attacked aggressively and outshot the Ladies 3-2 in the half. However, the Majors could never find the equalizer as they picked up their first loss of the season.

Millsaps will return to action on Labor Day as they will take on the UC-Santa Cruz Banana Slugs. Kickoff is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. at Harper Davis Field.
