JACKSON --
Josh Spencer netted two first half goals and teammate David "Sonic"
Lozano tacked on two late second half goals as the visiting
Southwestern University Pirates won their conference-opener Sunday
afternoon 4-0 over Millsaps at Harper Davis Field.
Despite a season-high 12 saves from Majors goalkeeper Jake Milner,
Southwestern's offense dominated from the get-go and waisted little
time getting
on the
scoreboard,
taking
advantage
of a Spencer
goal
in the 12th minute for the early 1-0 lead.
Spencer's second goal of the match in the 27th minute gave the
Pirates a 2-0 halftime margin, using a nice ball from senior Kyle
Strine to beat Milner.
Southwestern (5-4-1, 1-0 SCAC) out shot Millsaps 13-2 in the first
period, including nine shots-on-goal, while earning
four more corner kicks.
Lozano provided the final two goals for the Pirates in the 72nd
and 81st minute, scoring unassisted off a breakaway and using a
well crossed ball from senior Scott Smith.
The final scoresheet favored Southwestern with the Pirates out
shooting the Majors 22-4 (16-3 shots-on-goal) in the contest, led
by Spencer and Smith who both fired four shots.
Milner was hit with the loss for Millsaps to fall to 2-5 while
Ryan Tasin picked up three saves and a shutout to improve to 5-2
between the posts
for
visiting Southwestern.
The Majors will try and get back in the win column on Friday as
they continue a four-game homestand, playing host to SCAC foe Colorado
College at 3 p.m. followed by a 1 p.m. Sunday matchup with Austin
College.
