Box Score

GEORGETOWN, Texas – Despite shooting a season-low 25 percent from the floor on 14 made field goals, Millsaps put together a furious 14-4 run over the final 7:32 of regulation and knocked down key free throws to steal a 45-42 come-from-behind win at Southwestern on Sunday afternoon.

Facing its largest deficit of the game at 38-31 after a Stacey Mullins jumper with 7:32 to play, Millsaps senior guard Tiffany Whitmore hit a 3-pointer off an Olivia Coats assist that kickstarted eight unanswered points as part of the game-changing run. 

In a game that featured 10 ties and 10 lead changes, it was senior Crystal Dickerson's two free throws with 1:26 left that gave Millsaps its final lead of the game.  Dickerson knocked down 7-of-8 from the charity stripe down the stretch to seal the victory and move her into second all-time in school history with 255 made free throws. 

With the win, Millsaps moved to 6-4 overall and 2-1 in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play (2nd in the West), while Southwestern slipped to 3-9 overall and 0-4 in the league. 

The Majors were led offensively by Coats with 11 points and both Dickerson and Janice Okeke with 10 points apiece.  Okeke also grabbed 10 boards off the bench to secure her third double-double in the last five games, while LaReina Adams notched 11 rebounds.

Standout Natasha Azizi led SU with 17 points and 11 rebounds on 6-of-13 shooting.

Millsaps will step out of league play for a date with Division I member Southeastern Louisiana (7-5) on Tuesday, Jan. 6 at 7 p.m. before returning to SCAC action on Jan. 9 with Austin College.  Both games can be heard live on the internet at www.atwsportscast.com.
