ATLANTA- The Emory Eagles (7-3) got a late goal in the 83rd minute and outlasted the Majors (5-4-1) 1-0 on Saturday morning.
Jason Andrejchak was on the receiving end of a loss toss and cross to set up the game's lone goal. It was the only offensive break for either team in what was a closely and evenly contested game.
"I was real impressed, real happy with the effort, obviously disappointed in the result," coach Steve Voltz said. "Emory is a really good team, both teams had their chances, they converted one."
The Majors fired 14 shots over the course of the game, compared to 16 for the Eagles. Millsaps put consistent pressure on the Emory back line, but could not convert. Right out of the second half gate, Chucky Hayden had a shot blocked and shortly there after, a foul set up Lukas Elmhammar with a chance.
The Eagles had the answer every time or the Majors put shots just wide. Millsaps had five corner kicks on the afternoon to Emory's seven, showing the back-and-forth nature of the game.
Johnathan Huebbe made eight saves and got the tough luck loss. The Majors fall to 5-4-1 on the year as they enter conference play. They will join the women's soccer team next Saturday night for a double header against Hendrix in Conway, Arkansas.
