MAJORS DRAW WITH D2 STATESMEN

JACKSON, MS- Molly Ambrose scored her first collegiate goal and the Majors earned a 1-1 draw with division-II Delta State on Monday afternoon at Harper Davis Field. 

Elise Davis made 10 saves for the Majors who moved to 2-6-1 with the draw on Monday. Davis made a key save just before regulation expired and another off a free kick in overtime to preserve the draw.

Ambrose scored in the match's fourth minute, streaking up the far side of the field and firing one past the keeper from just inside the 18-yard box. 

The game would stay 1-0 Millsaps until midway through the first half. Off a corner kick, Maggie Amos took control of a loose ball and found the back corner of the net to tie the game. 

Delta State outshot the Majors 11-4 in the first half and 25-16 for the match, but the Majors' defense did a solid job in keeping the Statesmen attack at bay as most of the shots came from outside the 18-yard box. 

The Majors had a few scoring chances in the second half as Lindy Robichaux, Taylor Winslow and Ambrose continued to provide pressure. The Majors best chances in overtime came off a Maria Welch free kick and Lindsay Redhead who got a rebound off a free kick but both chances were saved by the Statesmen keeper. 

The Majors will continue their four game homestand on Saturday and host their first conference game of the season versus Hendrix. Kick off is set for 1pm.
