SEWANEE, Tenn. -- Freshman \#Brittany Ussin\# had a career-high 12 points off four 3-pointers and fellow frosh \#Janice Okeke\# chipped in her fifth double-double of the year as Millsaps went on the road and knocked off league foe Sewanee 52-44 on Friday evening.

Millsaps (9-6, 4-2 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference) won the opening tip and quickly scored off a \#Crystal Dickerson\# layup, starting the game on a 9-0 run over the first 5:20.  Sewanee didn't get on the scoreboard until the 13:44 mark, when Claire Elliott's jumper started a 7-0 run for the Tigers and cut the Millsaps lead to two.

The teams traded the next few buckets, and Carla Smiley's 3-pointer brought it to 11-10 Millsaps, before the Majors closed the half on a furious 16-4 run over the half's final 8:23 to go into the break up 27-14.  Ussin knocked down three consecutive 3-pointers for Millsaps during the run, while \#Cori Tucker\#'s 3-pointer with 5 seconds left gave the Majors a double digit advantage.

Sewanee shot just 18 percent in the period against 41 percent shooting from Millsaps.

Millsaps scored the opening bucket of the second half to extend its largest lead of the game, 29-14, until the Tigers clawed their way back into the game with a 9-2 run.  A jumper from Rachel Miller brought it to eight before Okeke's layup stretched the lead back out to double digits with just over 12 minutes to play.

Trailing by 13 points, Sewanee put together an 8-0 run to cut the lead to five at 43-38 with 6:56 remaining, the closest they had been since the 8:23 mark in the first half.  But it was the Majors who continued to pour on the buckets until the game's closing seconds to pull away with a 8-point victory on the road.

Millsaps had three players in double figures, led by Dickerson with 13 and Okeke and Ussin with 12 apiece.  \#LaReina Adams\# rounded out the scoring for the Majors, chipping in eight points and 11 boards.  Smiley led host Sewanee with 11 points, while Linsie Wiesman also had 11 off the bench in 22 minutes.

The Majors will close out a two-game road swing on Sunday at 5th-ranked Oglethorpe (14-1, 5-0 SCAC), with tip-off set for 3 p.m. EST.  Both live stats and audio will be available for the game courtesy of the OU sports information department.
