CHOCTAWS DEFEAT MAJORS

JACKSON- Playing their fourth game in six days, the Millsaps Majors women's soccer team dropped a 5-1 match to the visiting Mississippi College Choctaws on Tuesday. 

Most of the first half was played in the midfield, with both teams vying for scoring opportunities and odd-player rushes. The Choctaws capitalized on one such opportunity in the 11th minute where a two-on-one break brought Elise Davis off her line. A Caitlin Chapman shot found the back corner for the game's first goal. 

Davis came out and challenged a breakaway in the 37th minute and lost the race to the ball. That left a wide open net for the Choctaws who took advantage and made it 2-0. A goal just seconds before the halftime buzzer sent the Majors to the intermission down 3-0. 

Dorothea Staursky Staursky and Jamie Blair Page teamed up for the Majors' lone tally midway through the second half. After a Taylor Winslow cross pinballed around the six-foot box, Page's initial shot was stopped. Staursky was there to head home the rebound. 

Mississippi College outshot the Majors 17-6 and 12-3 in shots on goal. Davis made seven saves in the loss and she shares the Majors' record of 2-4 on the year. 

Millsaps will take the next few days off before heading to Memphis for the Rhodes Classic. They will play Texas-Dallas and LeTourneau on Saturday and Sunday, both game times are set for noon.
