Men's Soccer Exits SAA Tournament with Quarterfinal Loss to Millsaps

Box Score

SEWANEE, Tenn. - On a Saturday where temperatures did not make it out of the 30s with clouds and wind, the Sewanee men's soccer team saw its season come to an end Saturday afternoon, as the Millsaps Majors advance to the semifinals of the 2017 Southern Athletic Association (SAA) Men's Soccer Tournament, 4-1, from Puett Field.

Millsaps (7-7-2) started the scoring with a goal by Tore Schutt from an Alex Bourland assist. His fifth goal of the year came in the 11th minute.

The Majors would tack on two more goals in the first half. In the 37th minute, Brent Judd found Schutt's pass for the 2-0 lead. 4:20 later, Johannes Tonneson netted his first goal of the season and the lead was 3-0 in favor of the six-seeded visitors.

Sewanee (8-8-0) would not go away quietly. In the 57th minute, Kyle Johnston found the pass from Andrew Turk for his eighth goal of the year to make it 3-1.

However, in the 61st minute, the Majors got an insurance goal off the foot of Luca Kistner.

Will Merriman (8-8) saved three shots in 65:25 in goal.

The Tigers, for the first time in three seasons, finish the season at .500 or better.

Tony Pacella, wrapping up his fourth year at the helm of the men's soccer program, finishes with the most wins in a season with eight, and now has a career record of 26-38-6.
