Majors hang with defending national champs on Saturday

The Trinity Tigers hardly remember stopping in Jackson last season and beating the Majors 6-0 on their way to winning another conference championship and later the national championship.

But Head Coach Lee Johnson made sure that during the long offseason his players didn't forget last season's shutout.

The Tigers still outshot the Majors on Saturday 19-3, but just before halftime Johnson called on freshman Oghale Ighoavodha to give the offense a spark just before halftime. In under two minutes Ighoavodha broke free from the Tiger defense and scored an unassisted goal.

The Tigers put one more goal on the board before the half, but the Majors held the Tigers offense scoreless in the second half, but they couldn't put the ball in the net and lost 3-1.

Conference foe Southwestern handed the Majors their third loss of the season on Sunday in a 3-0 shutout.

The Majors asre on the road for a week before returning Oct. 8 to kick off Family Weekend against Centre College.
