ATLANTA, GA- Millsaps freshman John Overton has been named the Southern Athletic Association's Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts in the win over Rhodes.
Overton picked a great time to score his first two goals of his collegiate career. The freshman scored his first goal in the 66th minute, taking a deflected ball and hitting a hard, low shot into the corner of the net to give Millsaps a 1-0 lead.
In overtime, Overton took a pass from Daniel Staursky off a corner kick and scored amidst the ensuing chaos to give the Majors the win.
The win clinched the Southern Athletic Association regular season title for the Majors for the second straight season. Millsaps finished the regular season at 12-5 overall and 6-1 in conference.
Next up for the Majors is the SAA tournament hosted by Hendrix College. The Majors are the one-seed and will take on the host Warriors on Friday in the opening game of the tourney. Kick-off is set for 12pm.
