JACKSON- Lukas Elmhammar netted a hat trick, including the game-winning penalty kick in overtime as the Millsaps Majors won their 2014 season opener 3-2 over the Louisiana College Wildcats. 

Elmhammar scored all three of the Majors' goals including the game-tying goal midway through the second half and the penalty kick in the 101st minute. It was the game-tying goal that was the one that turned some heads. Elmhammar initially lined a free-kick off a wall of Wildcats, only to control the rebound and unleash a laser from about 30 yards out into the upper-90 of the net. 

"That was a world-class goal," coach Steve Voltz said. "I don't get speechless often, but that goal, wow, that's ESPN worthy." 

The goal answered an LC goal about 10 minutes prior, Louisiana College had scored the previous two goals after an early Elmhammar tally. 

Both teams had some opportunities in regulation but key saves by both keepers kept the game knotted at two. For the Majors, Johnathan Huebbe made four crucial saves on the day, including one in overtime. 

In the extra frame, an attacking Majors' offense drew a Wildcat foul in the box during the 100th minute. A yellow card was issued to a LC defender for kicking the ball away from Elmhammar prior to the resulting penalty kick, but did nothing but to delay the inevitable. Elmhammar kicked right and the keeper guessed left as the Majors moved to 1-0 on the season. 

The Majors' defense played very well on Friday, forcing LC into tough shots and limited the Wildcats to just six of their 14 shots on target. Additionally, the Majors held the edge on corner kicks, 5-3 as the Majors made the most of their attacking opportunities. 

Millsaps moves to 1-0 on the season and will look for their second win of the year on Sunday at home against the LaGrange Panthers. Kick-off is set for 3pm.
