MAJORS BLANKED BY VIKINGS

JACKSON, MS- Elise Davis made nine saves but it was not enough as the Millsaps Majors fell to the SAA-leading Berry Vikings 4-0 on Friday night. 

Davis made nine key saves on Friday night and was the beneficiary of three posts in the loss. 

Much of the first half was played in the middle of the field, with teams trading possessions on counter-attacks. The Majors routinely pressured at midfield and into the Berry defending third but could not break down the Vikings' back four. Midway through the first half, the Vikings struck as Maggie Midkiff headed a cross into the back right corner of the net for the game' s first goal. It would be 1-0 Vikings at the break.

The second half saw the pace pick up a bit as both teams pressed for offense. The Vikings caught a break when a deflection held up in the air long enough for Lauren Sykora to head it over a leaping Davis to make it 2-0. Berry would add two insurance goals 90 seconds apart in the 81st and 83rd minutes to put the game away. 

The Majors' backline of Lise Caspersen, Malorie Proa, Katie Sands and Ellie Dennis played a strong match on Friday. Berry was forced to settle for long shots all night because of their efforts against the Viking attack. 

The Majors will look to put one in the win column on Sunday when the Oglethorpe Stormy Petrels come to Jackson. Kick off is set for 1pm.
