HAMMOND, La. – Southeastern Louisiana junior guard Chelsea Hix scored 25 of her career-high 34 points in the second half and tied a single-game school record with nine 3-point field goals, as the Lady Lions rolled to a 113-53 non-conference victory over Millsaps at the University Center Saturday afternoon.
Southeastern, an NCAA Division I member of the Southland Conference, won its fourth straight game overall in improving to 6-5 and shot over 50 percent for the third straight contest, finishing at 51.7 percent from the floor.
