JACKSON - The
visiting Belhaven Blazers used a five-point performance from senior
Dantala Wright to snap a three-game losing skid and defeat the
Millsaps Majors, 5-1 at Harper Davis Field on Wednesday evening.
Belhaven (2-3), whose roster is internationally-filled with talent,
used the best of its scoring opportunities en route to a five-goal
night and a Blazer win.
Millsaps (0-5) played tough the entire match and even out shot
the Blazers 18-10. Belhaven however made its shots count, jumping
out to a quick 2-0 lead midway through the first half.
The Majors did finally get on the scoreboard in
the 86th minute, after a successful penalty kick by Anthony Amaya
ended Millsaps’ frustration
of a four-game scoreless streak.
The difference maker in Wednesday’s game was that the Majors
couldn’t capitalize on their attempts and the speed and quickness
of the Blazers proved to be too much.
Millsaps will take a week off before heading to Texas for a two-game
road swing, taking on conference opponents Southwestern and Trinity
on Sept. 22 and Sept. 24.
The Majors will then return home Sept. 29 to host the DePauw Tigers
at 6 p.m.
