JACKSON, Miss. – On Friday, the Millsaps College men's soccer program announced the release of its 2020 schedule.
The Majors will take the pitch this fall in the second year under the direction head coach
Kurt Albrecht. Albrecht took over the program in the spring of 2019, and led Millsaps to seven wins, and a SAA Semifinal appearance in his first season.
The Majors will face a 15-game regular season schedule that features the seven Southern Athletic Association (SAA) contests and eight non-conference matchups.
The season gets underway with a pair of exhibition contests against in-state opponents William Carey University and East Central Community College. Millsaps will host ECCC on Tuesday, August 25.
The regular season kicks off with a match against cross-town rival Belhaven at Harper Davis Field on Tuesday, September 1.
The schedule also features home non-conference matches against Huntingdon College (September 15), the University of Ozarks (September 18), and Talladega College (October 4).
Millsaps will play four non-conference games on the road this year.
Southern Athletic Association (SAA) play gets underway with a trip to Rhodes College on Friday, September 25.
The Majors will host Hendrix College, Berry College and Oglethorpe University in conference play. The matches against Berry (October 16) and Oglethorpe (October 18) are on Homecoming Weekend.
Millsaps will also play Sewanee and Centre College on the road this year. The Majors close out the regular season with a trip to Birmingham-Southern on Saturday, October 24.
"Last year we took a large step in terms of building a sustainable culture in the program," said Coach Albrecht. "We saw the reward for that work at the end of the season last year. To end the season on a winning streak and an upset over a rival in the conference tournament was the perfect gift for our departing seniors and a foundation for our returning players. This upcoming season we are looking to continue to build on that sustainable culture, and re-energize the great potential of this program. Our game schedule has been rebalanced with home and away matches, as well as south regional NCAA Division III opponents. I'm very excited to see this upcoming season as a springboard for the future of the program. "
