CONWAY, AR-Lukas Elmhammar scored on a corner kick and set up Matt Crooker's game winner as the Majors earned a 2-1 road win over Hendrix on Saturday.
The win marks the first road win in the SAA in Majors' history and puts them at 1-0 in the conference and 6-4-1 overall.
"We kept our composure tonight and I was really proud of that," coach Steve Voltz said. "Hendrix is a good team who bottled us up defensively. Lukas got a nice combo on the Crooker goal and we held on for the win."
Elmhammar scored on a Conor Hagan corner kick in the 25th minute to give the Majors a 1-0 lead. Hendrix answered shortly there after, burying a corner kick of their own off a header to tie the game in the 30th minute.
"They had a nice header to tie the game," Voltz said. "I like the way we responded and Daniel Staursky had a real nice game on defense to anchor our back four."
The game would stay tied until the 75th minute when Elmhammar had a nice give-and-go with Crooker who put it past the keeper and proved to be the game winner.
The Majors outshot Hendrix 17-4 and 7-2 in shots on goal, controlling the pace much of the second half where they held a 12-2 shot advantage.
The Majors are now home for a weekend slate of games, hosting Sewanee on Friday and Centre on Sunday.
