ATLANTA, Ga. -- All-American Katie Kulavic was one of 11 players in the scoring column for Oglethorpe as the fifth-ranked Stormy Petrels cruised to a lopsided 94-55 win over Millsaps on Sunday afternoon at Dorough Field House.

After a \#Crystal Dickerson\# basket and free throw for the Majors cut the lead to 26-15, Anna Findley kick started a 14-0 run over the ensuing 2:43 for the Petrels that extended their lead to 25 points and knocked Millsaps back on its heels.
Despite scoring eight of the final 11 points in the half, Millsaps trailed 47-27 at the break.
As if the 20-point lead wasn't enough, Oglethorpe completely took control of the game in the second half, opening on a 20-2 scoring run to build an insurmountable lead, 67-29, with 13:43 to play.
