JACKSON - After six consecutive games on the road to start the season, the Millsaps Majors Women's Soccer Team finally had its home opener on Friday night against Alcorn State. The Majors got a goal in the first half from junior Jamie Blair Page to take down the Lady Braves for their first home win, 1-0.

Early in the game, it was a stalemate as neither team could get a shot off for the first 15 minutes until junior Kaleigh Redhead finally got a shot off that flew wide of the goal.  

The Majors (3-4) got a few more opportunities and finally found the back on the net in the 32nd minute as sophomore Taylor Winslow flew past defenders down the sideline and found Page who finished it brilliantly to put Millsaps up 1-0.

The Major defense of senior Susan Harmon, junior Portia Waite, junior Tara Johnston, and junior Madeleine Hendrix kept the Lady Braves (0-5) away from the goal all night long. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Elise Davis made some huge saves with four on the night to pick up her second clean sheet of the season as the Majors held off Alcorn St. in the second half to preserve the win.

Millsaps is back in action at Harper Davis Field on Monday night as they take on the Huntingdon Hawks. First kick is set for 7 p.m. and can be seen live on College TV Ticket.
