JACKSON- The Millsaps Majors needed an extra five minutes but defeated the Huntingdon Hawks 2-1 in overtime on Sunday. 

"This was another gutsy win for our guys," Coach Steve Voltz said. "Proud of the way we pulled out the win, but we have to get better if we want to keep winning in our tough conference."

The Majors and Hawks played a conservative first half with neither team getting many scoring chances. The teams combined for 10 shots on goal, six for the Majors, but neither keeper was truly tested in the first half.  The game would be scoreless going into halftime. 

Seven minutes into the second half, the Majors would strike. Javier Garcia initially had his shot blocked, but the rebound came to Anthony Hayden who fed it back to Garcia who put it into the back of the net. 

The lead would not last long as a mis-play on a pass back to keeper Charlie Edwards led to an easy tap in goal for Dylan Weir who tied the game in the 61st minute. 

The Majors would have some chances after the game was tied but Chris Lawrence had a pair of shots off a free kick blocked. Hawks' keeper Alex Brown made nine saves in the second half to keep the game tied and send it into overtime. 

Four minutes into the extra frame, Javier Garcia sprung loose on a through ball and was pushed down in the goal box. The referee was quick to blow the whistle and award the penalty kick. Lukas Elmhammar didn't not miss and put the Majors to 5-2 on the season. 

"I want to congratulate Charlie (Edwards) for his first college win as a starting goal," Voltz said. "He was put in a tough spot yesterday and am proud on how he competed today to get the win."

Edwards made seven saves on Sunday to claim the victory and moves to 2-0 on the season after getting the win in relief yesterday.

The Majors hit the road next weekend, travelling to Saint Louis to take on Greenville (IL) and Webster (Mo.). First up are the Panthers of Greenville College on Friday. Kick off is set for 7pm.
