JACKSON - The Millsaps women's soccer team picked up its first win of the 2006 campaign on Saturday, using a Hayley Barber goal in the opening minutes to tame the Louisiana College Wildcats, 1-0.

Millsaps (1-3) came through and delivered a big victory, with Barber's lone goal off a Bobbi Jones assist being the difference in the 2nd minute.

A good, solid defense put down the hopes of a Wildcat win through the entire 90 minutes.

The Majors, who took 15 shots (six shots-on-goal) and 19 corner kicks, only allowed Louisiana College one shot the entire match.

Jones tallied four of the Majors shots, with Megan Sullivan contributing three shots (all shots-on-goal) and Amanda Paschall attempting two.

Beth Piraino, Callie Roth and Kristen Massey all chipped in with a shot apiece.

This season's squad appears to be brimming with talent and undoubtedly will have many exciting victories in the future.

The Majors next home match will be on Wednesday, Sept. 13, at 5 p.m. at Harper Davis Field when they play host to Belhaven College.
