MAJORS DROP HEARTBREAKER

JACKSON- The Sewanee Tigers got a goal off a corner kick in heavy traffic and that proved to be the difference as the Majors fell 1-0 on Friday night. 

The goal was scored off the set piece and a series of deflections, chaos and heavy traffic ensued in front of keeper Johnathan Huebbe midway through the second half. Huebbe was screened and a deflection found the back of the net. 

The Majors threatened consistently all night long. The Majors thought to have scored in the first half but the ball was correctly ruled to have hit off the football upright (out of play) and back onto the field.  

The Majors outshot the Tigers 18-7 and 8-4 in shots on goal. The Majors hit two posts and two crossbars on the evening as they threatened, but could never score. 

Much of the second half was in the Majors' attacking end as they continued to turn up the pressure following the Tiger goal in search of an equalizer. Tigers' keeper Holden Foster was equal to the task and made several key saves down the stretch and eight on the game. 

The tough loss sends the Majors to 6-5-1 on the year and 1-1 in SAA play. They welcome in the Centre Colonels on Sunday for an afternoon kick off. The game will begin after the conclusion of the women's game at noon. The Majors will honor seniors Chaz Ainsworth, Trey Fontaine, James Klugh and Wade Smith prior to the game.
