JACKSON, Miss. – On Friday, the Millsaps College women's soccer program announced the release of its 2020 schedule.  
 
The Majors will take the pitch this fall under new leadership. Courtney Murdoch was hired to be the program's head coach this spring. Murdoch comes to Millsaps from Texas Southern University, an NCAA Division I institution, where she has worked as an assistant coach since March 2019.

The Majors will face a 17-game regular season schedule that features the seven Southern Athletic Association (SAA) contests and ten non-conference matchups.

The season gets underway with a pair of exhibition contests against in-state opponents, Pearl River Community College and Southwest Mississippi Community College. Millsaps will host both of those matches on August 21 and 26 respectively.

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 LSU-Shreveport (September 8), Judson College (September 17),  Agnes Scott College (September 19), and Talladega College (October 4). 

Millsaps will play five 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. 

"We have a couple of new opponents, and more games than we normally would," said Coach Murdoch. "I think the build up to season is going to really prepare us for conference play. Mainly I am excited, especially after the cancellation of our spring season - I am really looking forward to getting back on the field and doing what excites us the most, playing!"
