Women’s Soccer Travels Falls to Millsaps, 2-0

MARSHALL, TEXAS – The LeTourneau University women’s soccer team controlled the game for 80 minutes, but Millsaps College, behind star midfielder Claire Panter, pulled away for a 2-0 victory on Saturday afternoon.

The LadyJackets (1-1) managed 19 shots on the afternoon, but were turned away every time by Majors’ goalkeeper Mary Raines.  Senior T.C. Willis (Carrollton/R.L.Turner HS) took eight shots herself, but could not find the back of the net.  Freshman midfielder Erica Crim (Henderson/Henderson HS) created many of the opportunities for the team and played well on the outside.

Millsaps (1-2) played a conservative game until 10 minutes remained in the game.  That was when Panter took over the game.  First, she made a fantastic move and scored at the 79:58 mark of the game and then 24 seconds later she issued a brilliant pass to Amanda Paschall who scored to put the Majors up 2-0, the eventual final score.

The LadyJackets’ freshman goalkeeper, Julie Kohn (Cuyahoga Falls, OH/Cuyahoga Falls HS) was superb until Panter scored.  Kohn was credited with nine saves on the afternoon.  Raines saved 10 shots for the Majors.

The LadyJackets have 10 days of rest before they play again.  The conference and home schedule starts on Tuesday, Sept. 16 in a doubleheader with the men against UT Tyler.
