JACKSON- The Millsaps Majors overcame a 3-2 deficit at the half to beat the East Texas Baptist Tigers 4-3 at Harper Davis Field in Jackson. 

Jan Bergk scored midway through the second half with what amounted to be the game-winner. The freshman picked a great time for his first collegiate goal, putting home a feed from Lukas Elmhammar and Nico Roth.

"I am proud of how our guys battled back," coach Steve Voltz said. "This was a gritty and resilient win for our guys."

East Texas Baptist struck first, scoring in the 12th minute off a deflection following a free kick. Adding injury to insult, the goal injured starting goalkeeper Johnathan Huebbe who was replaced by Charlie Edwards in the 17th minute. 

"Charlie played great, especially in the second half," Voltz said. "He made some big saves for us and gave us a chance to win."

Millsaps would tie the score on another highlight goal from Lukas Elmhammar. The junior bicycle kicked home a header from Roth to tie the game at 1-1. Less than two minutes later, Roth would hammer home a free kick from just outside the goal box to give the Majors the lead. 

The Tigers would storm back, scoring twice before the half ended. Edwards would make two saves and the Majors' defense a third on a flurry of Tiger shots in the 32nd minute, but couldn't keep Benito Bustos from hitting home a rebound to tie the game. Right before the end of the half, a crossing pass set up Pablo Jaimes who beat Edwards with a shot from 20 yards out. 

Out of the halftime break, Roth scored the equalizer just moments into the half. In the 48th minute, Roth got a through ball from Anthony Hayden, cut back across the field and put it in the back corner of the net to tie the game. 

With the game tied, the Majors got the game-winner nine minutes later on a counter-attack. Bergk found himself all alone just outside the goal box and went top-shelf to give the Majors the lead back, this time for good. 

"This game was a testament to our depth," Coach Voltz said. "ETBU is a good team and our young guys really came through tonight."

The Majors' depth will be tested again tomorrow as Millsaps is right back at it on Sunday. The Huntingdon Hawks come into Jackson for a non-conference match. Kick-off is set for 3pm on Sunday.
