MAJORS EARN PIVOTAL ROAD WIN

DANVILLE, KY- Millsaps made history on Sunday and earned a key 2-1 road win over the Centre Colonels. 

The victory marks the first time in at least 10 years that the Majors went to Sewanee and Centre and went 2-0. 

Nicolas Roth broke a scoreless tie in the 55th minute when he stole the ball and beat keeper Ohan Missirian-Dill to give the Majors a 1-0 lead. Roth wasn't done on Sunday, feeding Javier Garcia in the 82nd minute and the midfielder struck one past Missirian-Dill to make it 2-0. 

"Just a crucial win for our team and our guys," coach Steve Voltz said. "Nico (Roth) had a phenomenal game, stealing the ball on the first goal and leading the counter-attack on the second."

Centre would begin to sell out in the final eight minutes, desperate for goals to try and tie the match. The Majors' backline stood strong and Johnathan Huebbe would total six saves on the day. The Colonels would get on the board in the 89th minute but the Majors would run out the clock. 

"Really proud of how we played today," Voltz said. "Centre is a talented, veteran, physical team and they played great , pleased that we got a result."

The win moves the Majors to 5-1 in the SAA with one game to play and 11-5 overall. They will play host to the Rhodes Lynx on Saturday in the regular-season finale. Kick-off is set for 3:30pm and there will be senior day festivities prior to the match.
