Women's Soccer Falls Short to Austin College in Overtime

SHERMAN, Texas - The Millsaps Majors Women's Soccer Team took to the road to take on the Austin College 'Roos in Sherman on Saturday afternoon. The Majors got a late second half goal to tie the game, but could not hold Austin College as they found a goal in the second overtime to win 2-1.

The Majors and 'Roos were all even through the first half depite Austin College sending off 10 shots and Millsaps sending off eight shots to keep both goalkeepers busy.

The 'Roos (2-3) opened up the second half with a goal by Ariel Marder to take a 1-0 lead. Austin College continued to attack aggressively offensively with 13 shots in the second half, but freshman Elise Davis turned back the 'Roos throughout the afternoon.

The Majors (2-3) responded though with an aggressive offense of their own and finally found the back of the net in the final four minutes as junior Grace Gremillion found fellow junior Haleigh Williams for her first career goal, which tied the game at one and sent the game into overtime.

Neither team did much in the first overtime, but Austin College came through in the second as Lauren Scott scored five minutes into the period to score the golden goal and give the 'Roos the victory.

Millsaps took 16 shots in the game, but could only find the back of the net once. Davis was spectacular, making 10 saves despite the loss. 

The Majors are right back in action tomorrow afternoon as they ride to Irving, Texas to take on the University of Dallas. First kick is set for 12 p.m.
