MAJORS TOPPLE VIKINGS

JACKSON- The Millsaps Majors made it a clean lacrosse sweep on Saturday afternoon, coming back out of a 5-1 hole to beat Berry 17-14.

The Majors got on the comeback trail led by JB Page, the junior scored one goal and assited on another as the Majors got within two at 5-3. The tide seemed to turn in the Majors favor when they struck with a man dis-advantage, Sarah Hawthorne and Page teammed up to lead a three goal charge to tie the game at 6. Berry would add a late tally just before the halftime horn and led 7-6 at the half.

Page would tie the game about 90 seconds into the second half, only to see the Vikings re-take the lead just seconds later. The Majors would go on a seven-goal tear over the next eight minutes to take a 14-9 lead. Whitney Smith and Katie Iskra were key players in the run. The Vikings would score a pair of quick goals to cut it to 14-11 and looked to be right back in it when Theresa Woehnker scored the Majors second man-down goal of the game. The teams would trade goals down the stretch and the Majors walked away with the 17-14 win.

The win moves the Majors to 2-2 in conference and with the win over Berry, the third seed in the SAA. The Majors now have locked in a home game to start the SAA tournament and will host Oglethorpe next Friday in the conference finale to determine final seeding.
