JACKSON - Millsaps held Centre to 34 percent shooting for the game and sophomores Crystal Dickerson and LaReina Adams both posted double-doubles, but it was Chrystal Claunch's layup with 3.3 seconds remaining that lifted the Colonels to a 61-59 victory at the Hangar Dome on Friday evening.

The Majors took a 31-27 lead into intermission and held the lead until the 13:44 mark, when Monica Vonderbrink's 3-point basket gave Centre a 41-39 advantage.

The lead fluctuated back-and-forth the remainder of the half and was knotted three separate times, before Claunch's basket broke a 59-59 tie and sent the Lady Colonels out on top.

The loss for Millsaps is its third-straight overall and drops the Majors to 1-5 in games decided by seven points or less.

A key stat in tonight's game and one that's been haunting the Majors all season, is the lack of production off the bench. The Centre bench proved to be the deciding factor, outscoring the Millsaps bench 29-1 for the game.

Keonia Masterson had 11 points on 5-of-6 aim and grabbed six rebounds in 22 minutes, while Jennifer Marees, Vonderbrink and Jessi Asher each chipped in at least a 3-point bucket.

Millsaps was led by Dickerson's game and team-high 18 points and 12 boards, while Adams posted her conference best 10th double-double of the year (16 points, 13 rebounds) on 8-of-14 shooting. Leslie Frese was the other Major in double figures with 12 points.

The Majors will be back in action on Sunday, playing host to the 10th-ranked DePauw University Tigers. Game time is slated for a 3 p.m. start.
