LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, GA- The Millsaps Majors suffered their first loss of the season and dropped a tough 3-2 decision to the host Covenant Scots on Saturday evening. 

The Majors came out like gang busters in the first half with Javier Garcia finishing off a through ball from Lukas Elmhammar to make it 1-0 in the 22nd minute of play. Elmhammar would strike in the 32nd minute on a shot that deflected off the keeper and into the net to make it 2-0. Johnathan Huebbe made a couple of saves down the stretch as Millsaps led 2-0 at the half. 

"We played an outstanding first half," coach Steve Voltz said. "Lukas is having a phenomenal start to the season and he showed it in the first half."

The Scots would answer in the second 45, deflecting a shot past Huebbe in the 50th minute to make it 2-1 right out of the second-half gate. In the 75th minute, Snoopy Davidson hammered home a deflection off a corner kick to knot the game at 2-2. The Scots would take the lead for good in the 83rd minute as a shot from Ian Meredith slipped through the hands of Huebbe and proved to be the difference. 

"We have to learn how to play a full 90 minutes," Voltz said. "We are disappointed but Covenant is a good team and we can learn from this game." 

Through a series of tiebreakers, the Majors are the champions of the David Taaffe Invitational. The Majors won on goal differential (+1) and the head-to-head tie break with Maryville. Lukas Elmhammar was named the Invitational MVP and Nico Roth and Daniel Staursky were named to the All-Invitational team. 

The Majors will look to rebound on Wednesday night when they host the Belhaven Blazers, kick off from Harper Davis Field is set for 7pm.
