JACKSON- The Millsaps Majors erupted for six goals and won their home opener in fine fashion, a 6-1 taming of the East Texas Baptist Tigers. 

Javier Garcia got the scoring started, bending a free kick into the far corner in the 19th minute. That opened the flood gates for the Majors, who had been peppering the Tigers' defense all half long. 

Minutes later, Nico Roth took a feed from Lukas Elmhammar and headed it past the keeper as the Majors took a two-goal lead. Elmhammar followed in the 38th minute with a howitzer from 35 yards out that found the top shelf and the Majors took a one-sided 3-0 lead into the break. 

It didn't help matters that the Tigers were forced to play a man down for much of the contest, after a red was issued to Pedro Guerra in the 34th minute. He took down Chucky Hayden who had a clear path to the goal. While the contact seemed innocent, the result was an immediate red card. 

Millsaps kept pouring it on in the second half. Roth struck again, tapping a Hayden feed into a wide open side. Roth and Greg Hurley then helped just five minutes later on a Matt Crooker goal that defelected off a defender and the keeper. Hurley would later score his first collegiate goal on a chip shot that fell over the outstretch arms of the Tiger goalie. 

Johnathan Huebbe was marvelous in net, fending off five shots and just missing out on a clean sheet. He challenged the Bryan Romero shot but couldn't get all of it, and it spoiled the shutout. 

The Majors improved to 2-2-1 on the young season. They will travel, albeit just 25 minutes, to Mississippi College on Sunday for a 2pm kick off.
