MAJORS TRIPPED UP BY BLAZERS

JACKSON- The Belhaven Blazers took advantage of a corner kick in the 61st minute and scored the game's lone goal, crashing the Majors' home opener with a 1-0 win. 

The Blazers officially scored off a rebound from initial shot off the corner kick. The rebound sent the defense into a scramble and keeper Elise Davis was unable to recover from the initial save. 

Davis played brilliantly in net, turning aside 12 of the Blazer 13 shots on target. The Majors' defense as a unit played well, turning aside rushes and forcing shots and crosses well wide of the net.

Offensively, the Majors put good pressure on Blazer's keeper Isabelle Granlund. Granlund made a diving, last-ditch effort to turn away a Taylor Winslow attack in the first half. Granlund answered the call all evening long as the Majors' attempts to put traffic and chaos in front of her were turned away each time. 

Lindy Robichaux had a chance late in the contest but got tangled up with a Blazers' defender and was not able to put much on a shot. Grace Gremillion saw an attempt sail just high and wide in the latter stages of the contest. 

The Majors (1-2) look to rebound on Friday when they travel to LaGrange to take on the Panthers. Kick-off is set for 4:30pm on Friday. The Majors also are back at home on Sunday, when they welcome in the Austin College Kangaroos at 11 am.
