HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss. – Freshman Janice Okeke scored a career-high 23 points and added 12 boards for her second career double-double as Millsaps outscored host Rust by 11 points in the second half to win its fourth-straight game overall by a 73-67 score.

Bolton, now in her third year as head coach, moved to 5-0 all-time against the Bearcats.

Millsaps (5-3) trailed by five at the break, 32-27, due to 19 first half points from Rust's Breanne Viverette who was 5-of-11 from the floor and 7-of-8 from the charity stripe. As a team, the Bearcats shot 52 percent against 42 percent shooting from the Majors.

In the second half, Millsaps settled in to shoot 56 percent from the floor as Okeke went off. The frosh scored 19 of her 23 points in the period and grabbed 10 of her 12 boards, while senior LaReina Adams added 14 points and seven rebounds of her own.

Rust went cold in the second half, falling from 52 percent shooting to 35 percent. Viverette, the Bearcats' lone top scorer, scored 17 points in the second half on just 3-of-11 shooting but knocked down 10-of-11 free throws to keep the home team in it late.

Freshman Olivia Coats was the only other Major in double figures, scoring 12 points, while senior Crystal Dickerson added a career-high nine assists. Viverette finished with a career-high 36 for Rust, while both Tremelanie McFadden and Katrina Overby chipped in nine.

Owners of its longest winning streak in four years, Millsaps will take the next two weeks off for Christmas Break before returning to action on Jan. 2 at Trinity University.
