Wildcats fall 2-1 to Millsaps

9/19/2013 12:52:00 AM

Despite taking an early lead, The Louisiana College Wildcats dropped their third consecutive match on Wednesday night, this one coming by way of a 2-1 decision to the Millsaps Majors.
 
The Wildcats took just over six minutes to grab control of the match, as Caio Sousa was able to come up with a finish off of a corner kick by Raffi Ferriera to take a 1-0 lead.
 
LC would then have multiple chances to extend their lead, as they possessed the ball for a large majority of the first half, getting 12 of their 16 total shots in the contest off in the first 45 minutes.
 
That lead would last until the 66th minute in the second half when Millsaps' Conor Hagan rifled a shot that deflected off of LC keeper Travis Alexander's hand despite a diving effort to stop the shot. The Majors would then grab the lead for good 13 minutes later when Matt Crooker capped off the comeback, scoring off of a throw-in from Taylor Hayes.
 
The Wildcats were also hampered by eight offside calls, which erased more than a few solid looks at goals which could have helped them put the match away.
 
The game marked the final contest of the Wildcats' five-game home stand, as LC will now play their first road game since August 31 when they defeated Piedmont College 1-0. The Wildcats travel to Conway, AR to take on Hendrix College at 6 p.m. on Saturday night in their final non-conference matchup of the season.
