Jackson, MS - The Millsaps Men's Soccer Team recently finished the finest and most successful season in the history of the program.

With 54 goals, 154 total points and 14 wins, the Majors set a new mark for success in a season that would feature their first ever NCAA Tournament appearance. The Majors mid Nov. trip to St. Louis, Missouri for the NCAA Tournament was made possible by a conference tournament championship achieved six days earlier. With a conference tournament championship, NCAA Tournament appearance and multiple players receiving postseason awards, the Majors have a great deal to build upon for future seasons after a historic 2015 campaign.

"This season marked a new record of success for us," Head Men's Soccer Coach Steve Voltz said. "We are not satisfied though, we want to continue evolving the program and expanding Millsaps Soccer."
 
Regardless of what will be said or written about the 2015 Majors, a reoccurring theme will always be one of resiliency. The Majors ability to continually recover and bounce back from adversity highlighted the season, as Millsaps came from behind to win in four separate games.

"I was pleased for the guys to comeback and respond well, especially towards the end of the year," Coach Voltz said. "Our Senior leadership was crucial to earning the team awards and responding in a positive way."

The senior leadership was certainly evident entering the final month of play. After a road trip where the Majors fell in back-to-back conference games, Millsaps responded by winning six straight (including the conference tournament championship). Such a feat could not be accomplished without the senior leadership, especially considering the myriad of injuries the Majors faced this season.

"Every one of these seniors contributed this year," Coach Voltz said. "It speaks volumes about the seniors in that they were good teammates in all aspects of the sport, regardless of their role. This group is the winningest senior class in the history of the program, I'm happy for them and for the success they brought both on and off the field of play."
 
Charlie Edwards, Daniel Staursky, Tyler Cook, Nico Roth, Conor Hagan, Lukas Elmhammar, and Ryan Skelly all highlight the successful senior class, as the Majors also earned several postseason awards. Five Majors were named to the All-Conference Teams including Offensive Player of the Year Nico Roth.

The Majors will now begin building off the success from 2015 as the sights are set for another successful season in conference play and NCAA Tournament appearance.

"We're thankful to our support staff, parents, donors - they all helped us achieve the success this season," Coach Voltz said. "Now we're looking forward to starting the spring training sessions and getting ready for a tough schedule in the fall."

With such an influential senior class, young talent and momentum from a successful season, the Majors have plenty to build upon in moving forward for 2016 and beyond.
