MAJORS DROP HEARTBREAKER IN 2OT

BIRMINGHAM, AL- Birmingham Southern scored with three minutes left in regulation and again with three minutes left in the second overtime to defeat the Millsaps Majors 2-1 on Saturday afternoon. 

Millsaps started out red hot, scoring just 33 seconds into the match as Alex Bourland put one home for the Majors to give them the early lead. Bourland put home a feed from Nico off a Taylor Hayes throw in. The two defenses took over from there as neither team had much offense to speak of in the other 44 minutes and 30 seconds of the half. Johnathan Huebbe made a pair of saves as Millsaps owned a 1-0 lead at the half. 

The second half was much of the same as Lukas Elmhammar and John Overton had chances early, but couldn't connect as it remained 1-0. Huebbe again made another save to keep the Panthers scoreless and it stay that way until the 87th minute. Off a corner kick, the Panthers Claudio Lipp scored to knot the game at one. Overton had a last gasp in regulation for the Majors, but to no avail as the teams would play bonus soccer. 

In the first overtime, BSC ripped a shot off the post to keep things tied at 1 and the Majors accounted for all three shots registered but could not end the match. In the second overtime,Lipp scored again in the 107th minute to give BSC an improbable win. 

The Majors had an 9-5 edge in shots on goal on Saturday, but fell to 6-5 overall and 0-1 in conference. They will host Hendrix next Saturday in the conference home opener, kick off is set for around 3pm following the women's match.
