JACKSON, Miss. – The Millsaps College women's soccer team returned home on Saturday evening for a non-conference match with the Panthers of Greenville University.
The Panthers led 1-0 at halftime after a goal in the 16
th minute. Defensively, the Greenville keeper made saves on both of the Millsaps shots on goal to hold for the 1-0 win.
It was tough sledding on the offensive half of the field for the Majors all evening long. Each time Millsaps built a run the Greenville defense was able to turn it away with very few solid looks at goal.
Emily Gager, Hannah Johnson and
Grace Babin all had shots for Millsaps. The Gager and Babin attempts were on frame, but both were saved.
Despite allowing the early goal, the defensive backline kept things realitively clean for
Alyssa McCarron. Only six of the twelve Greenville shots were on goal. McCarron finished the night with five saves, bringing her season total to 25.
What's Next?
Millsaps is on the road Tuesday night when they travel to Columbus Mississippi for a match with the Mississippi University for Women. Kickoff against the Owls is set for 7:00pm.
