JACKSON – The Millsaps Majors Men's Lacrosse Team gained some momentum going into halftime on Saturday afternoon at Harper Davis Field as they picked up two straight goals as they looked at a five-point deficit going into half. However, Berry College pulled away in the second half and defeated Millsaps.
 
Berry took advantage in the first quarter as they went on top 5-0 and added another goal to start the second quarter. However, Millsaps settled in and played great defense in the second quarter to keep the score as is.
 
Freshman Scott Budd connected with a beautiful goal at 6:02 mark followed by a rocket from sophomore Hunter Stevison to cut the deficit down to four. However, the Vikings got a goal with less then two minutes remaining to go back on top 7-2.
 
Berry took that momentum and rode it into the second half as they pulled away from Millsaps and took the 18-3 win. Millsaps got its third goal from Budd early in the third quarter.
 
Sophomore Chris Hood did well in goal as he picked up 15 saves on the afternoon. Sophomore Kirk Clark was terrific defensively as he caused four turnovers and picked up five ground balls. Freshman Stuart Madden had another great day in the faceoff circle as he was 12-of-17.
 
The Majors have some time off and will be back in action on March 10th as they hit the road to Deomarest, Ga. to take on the Piedmont Lions. Faceoff is set for 7 p.m.
