JACKSON – Phillip
Buffington netted the go-ahead goal for MS College in the 29th
minute and later added the game-winner in the 78th minute as the
visiting
Choctaws topped the host Millsaps Majors 3-1 on Sunday afternoon
at Harper Davis Field.
After a 1-0
Choctaw lead held serve into the 77th minute, Millsaps' Colin
Thompson delivered the equalizer off a
perfectly played ball from Todd
Schneck and fired it past a diving
Andrew Dailey.
The 1-1 tie
didn't last long, however, as MS College regained a 2-1 advantage
just 37 seconds later when Barry Prather hooked up with Buffington
for his second goal of the day. The goal put Buffington one shy
of the school's career scoring record.
Nick Murry
added another late goal for the Chocs in the 85th minute to make
the final margin look worse than the actual game played out,
a 3-1 win.
Millsaps was
outshot in the contest, 18-6 (13-3 on net), keeping goalie Domenick
DiPaolo on his toes most of the day. The senior finished with
10 saves, but was hit with the loss to even his record between
the posts to 2-2.
The Majors
will be back in action next Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 13 and
14, playing host to Belhaven College and Piedmont College at
Noon both days. Those will also be streamed live on the internet
at www.atwsportscast.com. |
