JACKSON - The Millsaps Majors Men's Soccer Team carried a ton of momentum into their Friday night tilt with the Rhodes Lynx. However, despite outshooting the Lynx 20-11 on the night, Rhodes got a first half goal and held on tightly to upset the Majors, 1-0.

The Majors came out on the attack, sending plenty of shots on target, but could not get the early goal lead in the first half. Rhodes found themselves ahead in the 25th minute when Will Porter put back a deflection to give the Lynx the lead.

Millsaps looked to find an equalizer going into half, but settled for a 1-0 deficit at the break.

The Majors went all out in the second half, outshooting the Lynx 15-7 with numerous attempts just missing and a couple nice saves from Lynx goalkeeper Riley Sheen. Despite the numerous opportunities, the Lynx were able to hold on for the 1-0 win.

Freshman Lukas Elmhammar led the attack with five shots while sophomore Chucky Hayden added three. The Major defense was great starting with senior Taylor Harrison and included great performances from Alex Szabo, sophomore Christopher Lawrence, freshman Florian Popp, and freshman Daniel Staursky. 

Senior goalkeeper Stephen Andrieu also had a good night with six saves, but the Majors offense could not answer the bell in the end.

The Majors will enjoy Fall Break and come back ready to go next Friday as they welcome in defending Southern Collegiate Athletic Confernece Champion Oglethorpe into Harper Davis Field. First kick is set for 7 p.m. and will be a Black Out as all fans will be encouraged to wear black and black t-shirts will be given away.
