MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Millsaps women's soccer team was bested by Rhodes College, 8-0 in the Southern Athletic Association opener at Hutchison School on Saturday.
Rhodes (6-2, 1-0 SAA) outshot Millsaps (2-6-2, 0-1 SAA) by a count of 14-0. Millsaps junior goalkeeper
Emily Lozano made six saves, while classmate
Haley James recorded a shot attempt. The Lynx scored four times in each half.
Both teams played at Hutchison School after Hurricane Helene forced the grass field at Rhodes College to take on several inches of rain on Friday. Hutchison School provided a more water-resistant turf field.
The Majors will now return home and host Hendrix College next Friday, Oct. 4, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Live video and live stats will be available at gomajors.com.
