MAJORS FIGHT PAST GORLOCKS

St. Louis, MO- The Millsaps Majors won the finale of their Saint Louis road trip, 2-1 over the Webster (Mo.) Gorlocks on Sunday afternoon. 

Lukas Elmhammar continued his torrid start to the season, scoring goals nine and 10 of the season to help lead the Majors. Elmhammar scored in the game's 35th minute to give Millsaps a 1-0 lead. Elmhammar struck a beautiful shot into the upper-90. The Majors' enjoyed that 1-0 lead into the half. 

The Majors' defense frustrated the Gorlock offense all game long, as they limited Webster to just four shots in the first half, none on goal. Overall, the Majors limited Webster to just four of 15 shots landing on target. 

"We continue to get better defensively," coach Steve Voltz said. "Really happy for the defense and the team as a whole to battle back from a tough Friday."

Webster would tie the game in the 61st minute, heading home a cross past Johnathan Huebbe. The sophomore made two saves in the win on Sunday. 

Millsaps wasted no time to respond. John Overton placed a beautiful pass into Elmhammar who scored in the 64th minute, which proved to be the game winner. 

"A great response from our guys on that goal," Voltz said. "This was good for our psyche, to beat a solid team like Webster, who went to the tournament last year, that's big for us, we needed this."

The Majors have one more game left in their non-conference schedule. They will welcome in NAIA power Auburn-Montgomery to Jackson on Friday night. Kick-off is set for 7pm.
