ATLANTA- Lukas Elmhammar struck for three goals, including the game-winning penalty kick in double overtime, leading the Majors to a huge 3-2 win at Oglethorpe on Sunday. 

The win vaults the Majors into the top spot in the SAA at 4-1-1 as they own the tie breaker over Berry and Oglethorpe thanks to their pair of OT wins this weekend. 

"This was the type of game that you really didn't want to see a loser," coach Steve Voltz said. "Oglethorpe is a class team and it was one of those even matches that you are just glad that you come out on top."

The Majors overcame a Petrel goal that came just 25 seconds into the game. Justin Graves deflected in a cross past keeper Johnathan Huebbe as Oglethorpe gained the early lead. Elmhammar would tie the game in the 17th minute off a throw-in from Taylor Hayes. The game would remained tied through the half. Both teams had opportunities but solid goalkeeping from each side kept the game knotted at 1. 

The Majors broke through again in the 84th minute when Elmhammar connected off a free kick. Christopher Lawrence fed the midfielder for his second of the game. The craziness of the game was just getting started as minutes later the Petrels struck back, heading home a deflection to tie the game at 2. 

"Johnathan made a world-class save right after that goal," Voltz said. "We were a man down when Javy (Javier Garcia) picked up his second yellow and they attacked us. They did everything to tie the game and then that shot with a minute left, I still don't know how he got a hand on it."

In the first overtime, Lawrence put a shot off a corner kick high, the Majors lone scoring chance in the extra period. The Majors threatened in the second overtime after Nico Roth had a shot blocked, leading to a corner kick. Daniel Staursky's header was saved and the Petrels looked to counter. Huebbe made a key save to send the Majors back on the attack. Taylor Hayes had a shot stopped by the keeper but the ensuing scramble led to a foul being called in the goalie box against Oglethorpe. 

That set up a penalty kick for Elmhammar, his third goal and a victory for the Majors.

"That was a big time game by a big time player," Voltz said. "Just unreal. But it wouldn't have been possible without Staursky, Lawrence, James Klugh and Chaz Ainsworth on that back four, especially down a man in overtime."

The win sends the Majors to 9-5-2 on the year and 4-1-1 in SAA play as they head into homecoming. The regular season finale pits Birmingham Southern against the Majors next Saturday night. Kick off is set for 8pm.
