DANVILLE, Ky—When you're facing a hot goalkeeper, shots, let alone goals, can be hard to come by.
That's exactly what happened to Millsaps as they faced off with Centre College in a road SAA matchup Friday night. Colonel goalkeeper Bailey Spade came in leading the conference in most major categories including save percentage and shutouts. His numbers only got better as Centre knocked off Millsaps 3-0 to send the Majors to 3-9-1 overall and 1-4-0 in the SAA.
Centre got the scoring started early when Will Newton put one past returning goalkeeper
Alfie Miller just 5:44 seconds into the match. Five and a half minutes later, Centre's Alexander Garuba made it 2-0 after he took a pass from Carson Hart and scored his league-tying 10
thgoal of the season.
The Majors defense kept the Colonels off the board for the rest of the half but weren't able to muster a shot in the opening period.
Millsaps got some better looks in the second half but weren't able to put anything past Spade. The Colonels, on the other hand, scored three more times to put the match out of reach and send Millsaps to their third straight loss.
Miller ended the night with 4 saves. Offensively, Millsaps was led by
Luca Kistner,
Wayne Dowdy and
Mikel Gomez, who each had a shot on goal.
What's Next
The Majors will continue their road swing with a 2:30 pm match on Sunday against Sewanee.
