JACKSON, Miss. (Mar. 24, 2017) - Hendrix College beat the Millsaps Men's Lacrosse team in a SAA Conference game, 20-3.
Millsaps struggled early against Hendrix, spending most of the time on defense. Though they controlled three of seven face-offs, the Majors turned the ball over six times in the first quarter and had three failed clears. Five minutes into the game, T. Michael Thomas of Hendrix finally broke through on the scoreboard. After a goal by Matt Latham at the 3-minute mark of the first quarter, Hendrix went on a quick 13-0 run that spanned over the next 15 minutes that Millsaps never recovered from.
Alex Ortenstone and Jason Blatt scored six of Hendrix's 16 first half goals.
Garrett Perez finally got on the scoreboard for Millsaps at the 5:50 mark of the second quarter, scoring an unassisted goal after streaking down the field on a fastbreak. Millsaps ended the half down 16-1.
Millsaps was plagued in this game by a shortened available roster, losing multiple players to injury and wear and tear throughout the season. In the second half, the game slowed up greatly, and
Garrett Perez broke loose for two more impressive unassisted goals to make the score 16-3. After those two goals, Hendrix rattled off four more goals and stalled the clock out. Ultimately, Millsaps didn't have the gas in the tank to keep up with Hendrix, and fell at home in their second conference game, 20-3.
