MSSU Athletics Hall of Fame
Major was one of the finest goalkeepers ever to don the Green & Gold. His mark of 32 career shutouts still stands as a MSSC record, as does his career goals against average (1.05). In 1979, Major allowed only 10 goals in helping Southern to school record 16 wins (16-3-1) and a berth in the NAIA District 16 playoffs. His 0.53 goals against average that year was a Lion single-season standard. His 256 career saves, ranked third all-time at Southern, while his 5,810 minutes played was second.
During his career, the Lions posted a 52-20-6 ledger under head coach Hal Bodon. He was an all-American in 1979 and a four-time all-district player. Now a national soccer official, Major, his wife, Lorna and her daughter Natasha Helm, reside in Herculaneum, Mo. He has one daughter, Dallas Nicole Major.
