JACKSON -- Millsaps led by 15 at halftime and by as many as 19 with 12:56 left in regulation but it was All-American Melanie Auguste and Eliese Hansberry who had explosive second halves to carry Colorado College to a 67-65 come-from-behind win in overtime on Sunday afternoon in the Hangar Dome.

The loss for Millsaps not only snapped a six-game home win streak dating back to last season but denied the Majors a shot to take a two-game lead in second place in the SCAC West standings.  They dropped to 7-6 overall and 3-2 in league play, while CC improved to 9-4 and 3-2 in SCAC play.

Millsaps dominated the first half in holding the Tigers to a season-worst 3-of-26 (11.5 percent) shooting from the floor, taking a 15-point halftime lead, 34-19, into the locker room behind 42 percent shooting of its own.

After stretching its lead to as many as 19 on four different occasions in the opening 7 minutes of the second half, Millsaps began to force off-balance shots early on the shot clock that allowed CC to slowly creep back into the game.

Down 52-34 with 9:16 left in regulation, Emily Wattman-Turner knocked down one of her three second half 3-pointers to cut the lead to 15 and fuel a furious, 27-9 CC run that brought the game to 61-61 with 56 seconds left.  Wattman-Turner hit the 3-pointer to start the run and the 3-ball that ended the run.

Both teams had their chance to win the game in the final 30 seconds, with CC missing a layup with 22 seconds left and Millsaps missing one with 10 seconds left that sent the game into overtime.

In the 5-minute extra frame, Auguste's bucket at the 4:04 mark gave the Tigers their first lead since the 17:13 mark in the first half at 63-61.  Millsaps, on the other hand, couldn't find the rim, as they were held without a basket for the opening 4:13 until \#Crystal Dickerson\# knocked down a pair of free throws to pull the Majors to within two at 65-63 with 47 seconds left and set up a thrilling finish.

After Becky Luetjen's jumper stretched the CC lead back to four, Dickerson knocked down a jumper to pull the Majors to within 67-65 with 19 seconds left.  Following a Millsaps foul, Alyssa Aldaz missed the front end of a 1-and-1 and the Majors came down the court with one last shot to send it to double overtime.

\#Tiffany Whitmore\#, who missed a chance to win it in regulation, once again had her shot to be the hero for Millsaps, but with 3.2 seconds left her layup rattled in and out and the Tigers escaped with a two-point win.

Held without a point in the first half and to just one assist, Auguste exploded for CC in the second half with eight points, six rebounds, five assists and two steals in finishing two points shy of another double-double.  Hansberry had eight points and eight rebounds of her own to finish with 12 points and a game-high 16 rebounds, while Luetjen led all scorers with 21 points (11-of-11 FTs).

\#LaReina Adams\# had a season-high 20 points on 10-of-16 shooting for Millsaps, followed by 14 points and 10 rebounds from Dickerson and 10 points apiece from both \#Janice Okeke\# and \#Jessica Bowie\#.

Millsaps will close out a 3-game homestand Tuesday, welcoming the University of Dallas to the Hangar Dome in a non-conference affair.  Tipoff is slated for 5 p.m. on www.atwsportscast.com.
