PETRELS FLY PAST MAJORS

JACKSON, MS- Millsaps fired off 18 shots, eight on goal but could not get one in the net in a 3-0 loss to Oglethorpe on Sunday. 

The Majors provided consistent pressure on Sunday in what amounted to a back-and-forth match from an offensive standpoint. Millsaps nearly scored on a number of occasions, Molly Ambrose headed one off the crossbar following a Lindy Robichaux corner kick. The Petrels scored in the 31st minute when a ball deflected directly to Jessie Gregerson who broke in alone and scored. It would be 1-0 Petrels at the half. 

Oglethorpe scored again just 40 seconds into the second half. Emily Silva put a shot just inside the crossbar off a crossing pass to make it 2-0. The Majors continued to press and get scoring chances, but could not convert. Oglethorpe added insurance in the 63rd minute when Gregerson scored again off a deflected free kick. 

It was also a physical game that saw 22 fouls, four yellow cards and a red card over the course of the 90 minutes. Elise Davis made six saves in the loss for the Majors. 

Millsaps will look to rebound on Friday night when they travel to Sewanee to take on the Tigers. Kick off is set for 5pm.
