SCOUTING MILLSAPS COLLEGE
The Majors (0-1-1) still are seeking their first win of the young 2016 season. After being blanked 4-0 by Delta State University in the opener, Millsaps battled Louisiana College to a 2-2 draw last Sunday. Friday's game will be the Majors first road contest this fall.
MC's Molly Ambrose is responsible for both of the team's scoring results. Her second goal occurred on a penalty kick. Olivia Gattuso has combined for 197:18 minutes in the goalkeeper position and notched nine saves overall.
Dallas is 7-5 in the all-time series against the Majors. The most recent meeting between these programs was in 2012 at Irving, Texas. UD won 7-2 with a four-goal opening half.
SCOUTING HENDRIX COLLEGE
The Warriors (3-0) are unblemished this fall, and have compiled 11 goals so far. The most recent game reflected a little over half of that total in a 6-1 triumph over University of Ozarks on Tuesday. Hendrix has yet to go on the road until this weekend, but also picked up a pair of single-goal wins against No.22 (at the time) University of Texas at Tyler (2-1) and Fontbonne University (3-2). The Warriors will play at University of Texas A&M-Texarkana on Friday, before traveling over to Irving, Texas.
Macie Stultz and Evie Cannon both placed a pair of goals in the back of the net in the last game to propel them atop of the team leaderboard in season goals with three each. Cannon has a pair of assists to lift her to a team-high eight points. Jordan Rausch has 19 saves on the season with 258:19 minutes logged.
Dallas is 14-7 overall against the Warriors. These programs last met in 2011 at Conway, Arkansas, with Hendrix prevailing 3-1. The same teams did face off in 2010 at Crusader Field, and UD was on the winning side by the same score in that match.
