The Yellow Jackets (0-2-0) struck first early on as Kaitlyn Conway scored in the fifth minute to give LeTourneau the 1-0 lead.
Millsaps (1-1-0) tried to respond throughout the first half with shots coming from senior Dora Lambert, junior Kaleigh Redhead, and junior Jamie Blair Page, but could not find the back of the net and went into the first half with a deficit.
The Majors came out aggressive in the second half and found the equalizier in the 61st minute when junior Kaleigh Redhead found fellow juniorGrace Gremillion for a goal. For Gremillion, it's her second goal of the season.
In the blink of an eye, Taylor Winslow scored to give the Majors a 2-1 lead 19 seconds after their first goal.

Defensively, the back four of junior Portia Waite, junior Tara Johnston, freshman Malorie Proa, and freshman Katie Sands all played extremely well all game long. Freshman goalkeeper Elise Davis was also great, picking up three saves on the afternoon.
