SHERMAN, Texas -- Senior guard Chad Songy scored a career-high 30 points -- 20 in the second half -- on 9-of-13 shooting but a 12-point halftime deficit was too much to overcome for Millsaps as they fell 78-74 at Hughey Gym Friday night to Austin College.

Both teams shot the ball extremely well on the evening, with Austin shooting 48 percent to the Majors' 46 percent, but it was the 'Roos who capitalized on 36 points in the paint and 24 bench points to hang on for the 4-point win.

Millsaps (6-15, 3-8 SCAC) led just once in the game, 4-2, in the opening minutes before trailing by 12 at the break and by as many as 15 with 10:31 left in regulation.  

\#Chris Sanders\#' pair of free throws at the 10:17 mark cut the lead to 58-45 and jumpstarted a furious 17-5 run by Millsaps over the next 6 minutes.  Sanders, and his senior counterpart Songy, combined for all 17 points during the run cutting the lead to 63-60 with 4:41 left.

Austin (12-8, 6-5 SCAC) stretched the lead back out to six with 47 seconds left thanks to a 3-pointer from Kyle Lintelman and a free throw from Kola Alade before a 3-pointer from \#Blake Martinez\# cut it back to three.

Twice Millsaps cut it to two points in the final 26 seconds but 7-of-8 free throws from the 'Roos sealed the victory and the regular season sweep by a total of six points.

Millsaps was led by Songy's game-high 30 points in addition to 19 points and 11 boards from Sanders.  Austin had four scorers in double figures, led by Chris Sturtevant with 16 points and 11 rebounds and Alade with 15 points and a game-high five assists.

The Majors will close out a 4-game road swing Sunday, traveling to Colorado College.
