CROOKER CAPS MAJORS' COMEBACK

PINEVILLE- Matt Crooker scored the game winner on a feed from Taylor Hayes and the Majors' erased an early setback with a 2-1 win at Louisiana College on Wednesday. 

"I am really proud of the way the team responded after the early goal," coach Steve Voltz said. "It was a real battle out there tonight."

The Wildcats were able to strike early, scoring in the seventh minute and putting the Majors behind the proverbial eight ball. Taylor Hayes would help draw the Majors even in the 66th minute with a nifty pass along the right side to Conor Hagan who tallied the equalizer. 

"Hayes had a big game for us tonight," Voltz said. "He had two huge passes tonight to set up the score, he found the ball and found ways to make plays tonight."

He found Crooker in the 79th minute, who capitalized off a deflection and got the game winner for the Majors. 

Johnathan Huebbe rebounded from the early goal to earn the win. He made five key saves over the 90 minutes to keep the Majors in the game and later, preserve the win. 

The Majors now sit a t 3-3-1 on the season and head to Memphis for the Rhodes Classic. They will face off against Ozarks (Ark.) on Saturday and LeTourneau on Sunday, both games are set for 2pm.
