MONTGOMERY, ALA- The Millsaps Majors men's soccer team fell down 2-0 early on in the first half and could not complete the comeback, falling to the Faulkner Eagles 2-1 on Saturday.
"It was a tough loss," coach Steve Voltz said. "We played hard, had our chances and couldn't convert on a penalty kick."
As stated before, the Eagles got up 2-0 in the early stages of the first half before Javier Garcia scored his first collegiate goal. Garcia had scored against Texas-Tyler, but the stats were washed out after the game was called before it became official.
The Majors received a tough break in the early part of the second half. Garcia picked up his second yellow card which disqualified him for the remainder of the game and makes him ineligible to play tomorrow against Auburn-Montgomery.
"We basically played the entire second half a man down (11 on 10)," coach Voltz said. "That makes a comeback that much tougher."
The Majors now sit at 1-1-1 on the season as they stay in Montgomery to take on the Auburn-Mongomery Warhawks. Kickoff is set for tomorrow at 3:30.
