Late Goal Sinks Majors in the Mountains

SEWANEE, Tenn. - The Millsaps Majors Women's Soccer Team looked to bounce back after a top loss to nationally ranked Centre as they took on the Sewanee Tigers on Sunday afternoon. An 85th minute goal proved to be costly as the Majors dropped a tough match to the Tigers, 1-0.

Defense was the key as the Majors (5-6, 1-2 SAA) were outshot 21-7. Freshman Elise Davis picked up 11 saves on the afternoon, while defenders such as senor Susan Harmon, junior Madeleine Hendrix, junior Tara Johnston, and junior Portia Waite all played especially well on teh defensive end. 

However, Sewanee (6-6, 2-1 SAA) broke through in the 85th minute to take a 1-0 lead and take the win. 

Offensively, senior Margaret Eggers and junior Kaleigh Redhead led the way with two shots, but could not find a goal all afternoon.

Millsaps returns home on Friday as they welcome in the Rhodes Lynx to Harper Davis Field. The two teams had a classic a year ago as they played to a 4-4 draw on the final game of the season. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m.
