JACKSON – Senior Jessica Bowie recorded her second career triple-double with 14 points, 12 rebounds and 10 blocks in 19 minutes off the bench as host Millsaps improved to 2-3 on the season with a lopsided 86-38 win over Rust College.

The win for Millsaps snapped a two-game losing streak, with the 48-point victory the largest since the 1996-97 season when the Majors defeated Judson (Ala.) by a 99-32 score.

Millsaps built a 19-point halftime lead by taking advantage of 16 Rust turnovers and turning them into 17 transition points. Dickerson had three steals in leading the Majors to 12 total in the period and a season-high 23 for the game.

A 31-5 run over the first 10 minutes of the second half blew the game wide open, 72-27, as freshman Olivia Coats highlighted the spurt with three steals in four Rust possessions.

Bowie picked up eight of her 10 blocks and nine of her 12 boards in the second half and Millsaps shot a blistering 52 percent, while a solid defensive effort forced the visitors into 21 percent shooting in the frame and 12 more turnovers.

In addition to Bowie, three other Majors scored in double figures, led by senior Crystal Dickerson with a double-double (16 points, 10 rebounds), 12 points from Coats and 11 points from Janice Okeke. All 10 Majors dressed scored at least one bucket.

Rust (0-5) was led by Deanna Allen with eight points off the bench, while three others chipped in six apiece. Breanna Viverette had a game-high six assists.

Millsaps will continue a 3-game homestand on Saturday, Dec. 6, welcoming Hendrix College to town to open conference play. Tipoff is set for 3 p.m. and can be seen live streaming video on www.atwsportscast.com.
