JACKSON, Miss. -- After eight days off from competition, the Millsaps men's soccer team was back in action on Saturday afternoon. The Majors welcomed the Wildcats of Louisiana College to Harper Davis Field for a non-conference match. 

Millsaps led 3-1 at halftime, and the defense held off several Wildcat runs late to secure the 3-2 win.

With the victory the Majors improve to 2-0 overall, the program's best start to a season since 2014. 

How It Happened
Senior Brett Judd was dialed in from the very beginning of the match, and helped lead a potent offensive attack in the early-going. 

In the 3rd minute he played a ball off of a Wildcat defender and beat the Louisiana College keeper for the game's opening goal. 

After LC scored the equalizer in the 13th minute, it took Millsaps just ten minutes to answer back. 

In the 23rd minute Judd played a nice chip shot from just inside the box that went over the outstretched hand of the goalie and into the net.

Just over five minutes later a Louisiana College foul was committed inside the box. Judd stepped up and converted on the penalty kick to make it 3-1 in favor of the Majors. 

That score would hold until the halftime break, and despite the Willdcats scoring in the 57th minute, the Millsaps defense was able to hang on for the win. 

Notable
Bruno Marques played a standout game on the defensive backline. In the final 10 minutes LC played several balls down the left side of the defense, but each time Marques was there to take away any look at goal. 

What's Next?
The Majors will be back in action on Wednesday night when they host the Mississippi University for Women. Kickoff from Harper Davis Field is set for 7:00 p.m.
