MAJORS DOUBLE UP TIGERS

SEWANEE, TN- Three first half goals set the tone on Friday night and Millsaps doubled up the Sewanee Tigers 4-2 and gained a pivotal road win at Puett Field. 

Lukas Elmhammar added to his already banner season with two more goals, both coming in the first half. Elmhammar drove home a pass from Jan Bergk in the 15th minute for the match's first goal. He struck again in the 26th minute on an unassisted tally to make it 3-0. 

Sandwiched between the two Elmhammar goals was a tally from junior Conor Hagan in the 22nd minute. The Majors peppered the Sewanee backline to the tune of 13 first half shots and led 3-0 at the intermission. 

The Tigers would not go gently on Friday night, scoring in the 59th minute to make it 3-1. The Tigers outshot the Majors 9-3 in the second half but Johnathan Huebbe and the Majors' defense rose to the occasion yet again to protect the lead. 

In the 80th minute, freshman Alex Bourland gave the Majors their three-goal lead back with his fourth goal of the season. The Tigers would add their second goal minutes later but it would prove to be too little too late. 

The victory moves Millsaps to 4-1 in the Southern Athletic Association and 10-5 overall. They will face another tough match on Sunday when they travel to Danville, KY to take on Centre who sits at 3-0-2 in the conference. Kick-off is set for 1:30PM central, following the women's match between the two schools.
