JACKSON --
In Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference action on Friday afternoon
at Harper Davis Field, junior forward Todd Schneck tied the game
at
2-2 in the 85th minute to send the game into
overtime
before
an
own goal in the 104th minute allowed the visitors
from Colorado College to celebrate their sixth-straight win by
a 3-2 margin.
Corey Beaumont gave the Majors an early 1-0 lead that they would
hold through halftime, scoring his first goal of the season in
the 25th minute on a ball from Schneck.
Known primarily as a second-half team, Colorado College found the back of the net twice in a span of 42 seconds in
the 54th and 55th minute, using Trevor Cobb's sixth goal of the
year to tie the game and Chris Ellis' first of the year for a quick
2-1 lead.
The Tigers held the lead until the 85th minute when
Schneck fired a rebound shot off a save from keeper Andy McGhie
that found the back of the
net to send the game to overtime. Colin Thompson picked up the
assist for his first point of the season.
After a scoreless 10 minute overtime period -- the first of two
-- Colorado College crossed a ball in front of the net in the 104th
minute where a Major defender tried to make the clear and accidentally
knocked it in for an "own goal."
The loss for Millsaps (2-6, 0-3 SCAC) was its third in a row to
open the SCAC season while the Tigers improved to 7-2 and 2-0 in
the league.
Millsaps will continue conference action Sunday, playing host to
Austin College at 1 p.m.
