SEWANEE, Tenn. -- Senior guard \#Chris Sanders\# scored a season and game-high 18 points in addition to seven rebounds and Millsaps staved off 59 percent shooting from host Sewanee in the second half to hold on for its first road win of the season, 58-56.

The win for Millsaps marked its third-straight overall as they improved to 5-10 and 2-4 in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play.  Sewanee dropped to 3-10 and 1-4 in league action.

Neither team had full control of the game at any point, exchanging 12 lead changes on the night.  The Majors led for almost the entire first half, while the Tigers held an advantage down the stretch until the waning seconds when Millsaps retook the lead for good with 23 seconds left.

Millsaps led by as many as 10 midway through the first half at 24-14 and entered the half with a 31-22 lead thanks to nine points from \#Chris Ingle\# and eight from Sanders.  The Majors also owned the boards in the period, outrebounding Sewanee 21-12, including 10 offensive rebounds.

Sewanee, however, would not go down without a fight in its home building, rallying behind seniors Kenton Coleman and Bradley Pierson to open the second half on a furious 12-0 run to take a brief 34-33 lead.

Back-to-back 3-pointers from \#Blake Martinez\# and Sanders put Millsaps back in front by three at 39-36 before Sewanee responded with a 7-0 run to jump back in front by four with 8:56 to play.

Millsaps trailed for almost the entire way down the stretch and were down 56-52 with 1:25 remaining until a 3-pointer from Sanders and jumper from \#Cameron Varnado\# with 23 seconds left gave the Majors their final lead.  Pierson tried to hoist up a miracle 3-point shot for Sewanee with 2 seconds left but it came up just short in allowing Millsaps to escape with the 2-point win.

Pierson scored 12 of his team-high 17 in the second half off 5-of-6 shooting for Sewanee, while Coleman added 10 points, nine rebounds and six assists.  Behind Sanders, Ingle had 13 points for Millsaps in addition to nine points and five dimes from \#Chad Songy\#.

Millsaps will wrap up a two-game road swing Sunday, traveling to Oglethorpe (11-3, 4-1 SCAC) for a 1 p.m. EST tipoff.
