JACKSON – Junior Chelsea Goodman scored 20 of her season-high 27 points in the game's opening half to help visiting Centre enjoy a 25-point halftime lead and eventually win in big fashion 80-57 on Sunday afternoon in the Hangar Dome.

Centre earned its third-straight league win to improve to 5-3 and 12-6 overall, while Millsaps lost its third consecutive SCAC game to drop to 4-5 and 9-9 overall.

The Colonels built an insurmountable halftime lead behind 53 percent shooting and never looked back.  Alison Denbow's layup at the 11:06 mark put Centre up by double figures at 18-8 and Millsaps was never able to respond.  To make matters worse, the Colonels closed the half on a 13-4 spurt to go into the break at 47-22.

Senior \#Tiffany Whitmore\# scored 13 of her team-high 15 points in the second as Millsaps outscored the visitors 35-33 but it was too little, too late.  \#Janice Okeke\# finished with 13 boards, 12 points and four blocks, while senior \#LaReina Adams\# added 13 points and eight rebounds.

Millsaps will play its next four games on the road, beginning with a Jan. 30 date at SCAC-provisional member Birmingham-Southern.  Tipoff is set for 8 p.m.
