TIGERS OUTLAST MAJORS

JACKSON- The East Texas Baptist Tigers knocked off the Millsaps Majors 2-0 on Saturday afternoon at Harper Davis Field. 

Elise Davis made 10 saves for the Majors on Saturday including several big saves for Millsaps in the loss. 

The game was played in the midfield for much of the 90 minutes. Early on, both teams had chances off corner kicks and set pieces.  ETBU broke through in the 19th minute off of their second corner kick of the match. 

The ball deflected twice before being redirected off a header to make it 1-0. The Majors would look to respond, but a Taylor Winslow shot squeeked wide of the net after beating the keeper. It would be 1-0 at the break in favor of ETBU. 

The Majors went on the attack in the opening moments of the second half. Molly Ambrose would be denied on a pair of scoring chances to keep it 1-0 Tigers. Millsaps would keep pushing with Winslow again being denied and Lindy Robichaux just missing high off a free kick. Elise Davis again stepped up being on Tiger counter-attacks to keep it 1-0. However, on a Tiger counter, Alexis Smith beat Davis to a crossing pass and tapped in the second goal of the game into a wide-open net in the 85th minute to round out the scoring.

The loss drops the Majors to 2-2 on the season. They will hit the road next weekend when they travel to Talladega to take on the Tornadoes of Talledega College.  Kick off is set for Friday night at 7pm.
