ATLANTA-Majors right back Taylor Hayes was named the Southern Athletic Association defensive player of the week. 

Hayes helped the Majors to a 3-0 week with wins over Louisiana College, Ozarks and LeTourneau. 

Hayes played a key role in the comeback win over the Wildcats from Louisiana College. Hayes assisted on both of the Majors' tallies including a throw in to set up Matt Crooker for the game winner in the 79th minute. 

He added a third helper of the week against LeTourneau helping set up the game's first goal. Hayes marked the opposition's best player all week and helped anchor a back four that allowed just three goals during the perfect week. The Majors earned their first shutout of the year against LeTourneau on Sunday. 

Millsaps sits at 5-3-1 on the season and heads to Emory in Atlanta this weekend for a non-conference matchup.
