Jackets Settle for Draw

Box Score:


 
LONGVIEW, Texas – After 110 minutes, LeTourneau University and the Millsaps College soccer teams settled for a 2-2 double overtime draw Sunday afternoon.

25 minutes into the contest, a foul committed by the Majors (0-3-1) inside the box put the YellowJackets (1-2-1) in position for a penalty kick. LETU took a 1-0 lead when Reagan Sandford drilled the penalty kick out of reach of the goalkeeper in the top right corner of the net. At the 35th minute mark Sandford stung Millsaps again, slashing through the defense and booting one to the back of the net, extending the Jackets lead, 2-0. LeTourneau would hold the visiting Majors scoreless moving into the second period.

The tables turned in the second period, a penalty committed by the YellowJackets inside the box put the Majors in position for its own penalty kick. Millsaps' Camille Blanchard slipped one past LETU's Kelsy Traylor to bring the game within one, 2-1. With 1:41 remaining in regulation, MC's Blanchard sliced through Jacket defenders to slam one in the back of the net, knotting the game up at 2. The Score remained tied through the rest of regulation.

In the first overtime, Drew Lessert had a chance to secure the Jackets win but the shot was slightly off the mark. LETU's Kiersten Reeser had two crucial saves down the stretch for the YellowJackets, denying shots from Millsaps' Ranee' LeVasseur and Nicole Balduccini.

The Majors outshot the Jackets 4-2 in the first overtime. LETU had two saves, while MC had one.

At the 104th mark, Lessert had another scoring opportunity but a great save by Millsaps' Milano Madison left the game tied. Sandford took a shot at giving the YellowJackets the win but pushed it too far right. Blanchard gave the Majors one last chance, sending a shot to the bottom right, but sent it too far. With 15 seconds remaining in the final overtime, Sandford tried to send one to the top right corner, but a last second reach by Milano got a mitt on it for the save.

Inside the Box:
LETU outshot Millsaps 20-17, including 10 on goal.
LeTourneau had a season-high eight saves.
Reeser had five saves and Traylor had three.
