Women’s hoops: Millsaps Falls to Centre 69-59

The Hangar Dome was rocking Friday (1/30/04) on Purple Pride Night and the Lady Majors decided to join in on the fun. Millsaps, utilizing a suffocating full-court press, jumped to a 15-0 lead before the Lady Colonels knew what hit them. Centre did not score until 11:02 remained in the first half. Millsaps improved to 4-14, 1-7, while Centre dropped to 5-14, 2-6.

The Majors, fueled by the boisterous crowd, were tenacious defensively as they did not allow Centre any breathing room. Centre mustered only 10 points in the first half and trailed 29-10 at intermission.

Millsaps caught fire offensively in the 2nd stanza as they blistered the nets with 59.3% shooting en route to 41 second-half points. The Majors enjoyed their biggest lead of the day at 68-27 as they put on their most dominating performance in recent memory.

Jillian Compton led the charge with 17 points while Leslie Frese and Martha McDaniel added 9 each. Becky McDole patrolled the paint and grabbed 7 rebounds. Virginia Lowery had 8 points for Centre and Mary Klee garnered 9 boards.

The Majors hope to continue riding high as they host Sewanee on Super Bowl Sunday.
