ROOS PUSH PAST MAJORS

SHERMAN, TX- The Austin Roos scored three second half goals and handed the Majors their first loss of the season, 3-1 on Friday afternoon. 

Lindy Robichaux scored her first goal of the season in the 19th minute, striking from 25 yards out on a free kick to give the Majors a 1-0 first half lead. Austin would pressure in the following minutes but a couple of key saves from Elise Davis kept it 1-0 Majors. Taylor Winslow was denied on a shot with about 10 minutes left in the half and proved to be the last real scoring chance for either team in the half as Millsaps led 1-0 after 45 minutes. 

A Millsaps foul in the box in the 50th minute led to the equalizer as the Roos capitalized on the ensuing penalty kick. Robichaux and Winslow had shots denied by the Austin keeper as the game stayed tied over the next 30 minutes of play. A yellow card against Katie Sands led to the second Austin penalty kick of the half and the go-ahead goal in the 78th minute of play. 

Trying to get the equalizer, the Majors would sell out offensively and allow a third Austin goal on a counter-attack.

The loss drops the Majors to 1-1 on the season while Austin improves to 4-0. Davis made six saves in the loss and she is also 1-1 on the season. The Majors look to rebound on Tuesday night when they take on Belhaven, game time is still to be determined.
