Majors Drop Heartbreaker to Colonels in Double OT

DANVILLE, Ky. - Coming fresh off a huge win over Hendrix, the Millsaps Majors Men's Soccer Team hit the road to Kentucky to take on the Centre Colonels. In a game that saw numerous opportunities for both side, the Colonels got a golden goal in the 102nd minute of double overtime to take a 2-1 win over the Majors on Friday evening.

The two teams went scoreless in the first half despite Centre outshooting Millsaps 8-2. Senior Stephen Andrieu came away with huge saves, picking up three in the first half, and keeping the score knotted at nil. 

The Majors (3-6-1, 1-1 SAA) broke through five minutes into the second half as freshman Matt Crooker found a crease and fired away for his first goal of the season to give Millsaps the 1-0 lead.

However, 11 minutes later Centre (8-2-1, 2-0 SAA) responded with the equalizer thanks to a Jeremy Carlson goal. 

Millsaps attacked aggressively towards the end of the second half as they looked for the go-ahead goal. Senior Taylor Harrison had a great look in the 88th minute that just sailed over the crossbar. The game would go to overtime.

Freshman Chase Ming came forward early in the first overtime and had a look at goal that looked good off of his foot, but again just sailed over the crossbar to keep the game knotted at one a piece. 

Centre's Cameron Miller found the golden goal in the 102nd minute of the second overtime as he found a small face and sent a nice shot on the ground by a diving Andrieu for the win.

Millsaps' offense was led by Ming and freshman Lukas Elmhammar with two shots each. Crooker added the one goal of the day. The Majors played well defensively, which included six saves from Andrieu, but Centre found a way to come out on top.

For the Majors, they return to action on Sunday as they travel to the mountains to take on the Sewanee Tigers. First kick is set for 4 p.m. EST.
