JACKSON- The Millsaps Majors women's soccer team fell 2-0 to Birmingham Southern on senior night for nine players on Saturday.

The Majors honored forwards Whitney Murchison, Jamie Blair Page and Hunter Futch, midfielders Dorothea Staursky, Grace Gremillion, Madeleine Hendrix, Kaleigh Redhead and defenders Tara Johnston and Portia Waite.

Redhead and Staursky, out for the year, came on the field to start the game before subbing out in a classy move agreed upon by both teams.

BSC scored in the game's eighth minute when Amanda Babbin took advantage of a loose ball and put it by keeper Elise Davis to make it 1-0. The Majors would have chances in the first half, pumping four shots on net and two more high, but it would stand 1-0 going into half.

Davis made a few key saves early in the second half as the Panthers pressured early. The Majors countered but a shot by Lindy Robichaux was steered aside and Jamie Blair Page missed high off a set play.

The Panthers countered back when Jessie Sperry buried a hard shot from the left side of the box to make it 2-0 in the 62nd minute.

The Majors looked to mount another counter late in the match when Taylor Winslow won a race to a free ball and sent it to Murchison who just missed high.

Millsaps will now head to BSC next weekend for the conference tournament.
