JACKSON - Rhodes College held Millsaps to 15 second half points and benefited from four different scorers in double figures in a 17-point win on Saturday afternoon in the Lady Majors' final regular season and home game of the 2006-07 campaign.
Millsaps held a 29-27 halftime margin on 38 percent shooting and tough defense, but it was the Lady Lynx who took control of the game after intermission and went on a 24-6 run to open the second half.
The Majors were held to a season-low 17 percent (4-of-23) shooting in the second half, including 2-for-11 from beyond the arc and 5-of-12 from the charity stripe in their ninth straight loss to end the season.
The absence of "Mrs. Double Double", forward LaReina Adams who was forced to sit out on a season-ending ACL injury a week ago, proved to be key with the sophomore averaging a team-best 13 points and 10.8 rebounds per contest.
Rhodes (15-9, 7-7 SCAC) was led by Crystal Jessee who notched a team and game-high 17 points and 10 boards. Kristen Lytle (12), Ashley Farrell (12) and Becky Atnip (10) were the other Lady Lynx in double figures.
Senior Deborah Sturgis led all Majors with 11 points and 11 rebounds in her final game in a Millsaps uniform, while fellow seniors Leslie Frese and Allison Sturgis combined for nine points and four rebounds.
The Lady Lynx will open SCAC Tournament play next week as an underdog against Trinity, while the Majors' season comes to a close.
