Missed Opportunities Cost Majors in Loss to Belhaven

JACKSON - The Millsaps Majors Women's Soccer Team traveled down the road to take on the Belhaven Blazers on Tuesday Night at Newell Field. Despite opportunities, Belhaven got two goals in the second half to pull away from the Majors and take a 3-0 win on their home field.

The Blazers (2-4) struck in the first half, but Millsaps (2-2) looked to respond quickly as sophomore Taylor Winslow found a crease down the sideline. However, the Blazers were able to squander the attempt away and held onto the 1-0 lead going into half.

Belhaven controlled possession early on in the second half and netted a second goal, but the Majors found themselves with a free kick just outside the box later in the half.

Junior Kaleigh Redhead took the free kick that looked good on the way, but the ball went off the crossbar and went begging to keep the score at 2-0.

The Blazers finished off the Majors with a third goal to pick up the victory.

Winslow and senior Margaret Eggers led the way with three shots on the night and two shots on goal. Juniors Madeleline Hendrix and Kaleigh Redhead each added a shot a piece.

Freshman Elise Davis picked up a career high 10 saves on the evening despite taking the loss.

Millsaps is back on the road for the fifth straight time and are back on the pitch on Saturday as they take on the Austin College Roos in non-conference action. First kick is set for 12 p.m.
