LeTourneau's Offense Explodes in Win Over Millsaps

LONGVIEW -- LeTourneau University men's soccer team's offense kicked into high gear Saturday night in a big 6-3 win over Millsaps College at LETU Soccer Field.

The YellowJackets (2-3-2) scored a season-high six goals as five different players found the back of the net. Russell Gray scored twice, recording the first multi-goal game of his career.

Dustin Gray gave the Jackets an early lead when he banged home a setup from Angel Rivera in the second minute. Russell Gray padded the lead in the 13th minute on an assist from Oscar Cravioto. Cordrick Sabbatini put LeTourneau up 3-0 when he deposited a ball into the back of the net. Eric Smith and Luis De La Torre drew assists on the goal.

Millsaps, which was coming off a win over East Texas Baptist a night earlier, cut the gap to 3-1 when Connor Henderson scored on an assist from Ruben Hamman a little over a minute after Sabbatini's goal.

The YellowJackets, which snapped a three-game skid, outshot the Majors (4-3) in the first half, 9-4.

LETU cranked up its offense in the second half, ripping off 14 more shots to Millsaps' four. Majors keeper Alfie Miller made seven of his eight saves in the second half.

Russell Gray scored his second goal four minutes into the second half on an assist from Chancey Davis. The Majors responded with a pair of quick goals in the 59th and 60th minutes as Gabriel Ryce and Brett Judd each found the back of the net.

Cravioto gave the Jackets some breathing room, though, when he scored in the 75th minute. Davis tacked on an insurance goal in the 77th minute.

LeTourneau had 14 shots on goal. Millsaps finished with six. LETU goalkeeper Diego Berlingeri made three saves in the win.

Eight yellow cards were issued in the game. The Jackets attempted 10 corner kicks to the Majors' two. 

LeTourneau will open American Southwest Conference play 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Mary Hardin-Baylor.
