SHERMAN, Texas -- In a game that featured 14 lead changes and 13 ties, freshman Kersti Marusich's layup with 3 seconds left in overtime lifted host Austin College to a 67-65 win on Friday night at Hughey Gym.

The 2-point win for the 'Roos helped them avenge a 2-point loss in Jackson a month ago and improved their record to 8-12 overall and 4-7 in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play.  Millsaps dropped its sixth-straight game to fall to 9-12 and 4-7 in league play also.

Neither team shot the ball well from the charity stripe, and on Friday night, that's where the game was decided.  Austin hit 15-of-22 free throws -- 9-of-12 in the second half -- compared to a miserable 11-of-31 from the Majors for a season-low 36 percent.

Austin (8-12, 4-7 SCAC) took a four-point lead into the locker room behind 52 percent shooting from the floor but couldn't find the basket in the second half in shooting just 29 percent and allowing Millsaps to get back in the game late.

The Majors led by a game-high four points with 11:41 left in regulation but lost the lead minutes later after the 'Roos put together a 13-5 run to go back in front by four, 45-41.  But Millsaps rallied again to tie the game with 1:52 remaining when they strung together three consecutive baskets in the paint.

Two free throws from Maegan Fitzgerald and a layup from Katy Williams pushed the 'Roos lead back to 55-51 with 36 seconds remaining and looked to close the book on the Majors before a \#Ronda Webb\# basket and free throw brought it to 55-54.  Two more free throws from Williams made it a three-point game with 15 seconds left until freshman \#Brittany Ussin\# found the equalizer on the Majors' next possession with a 3-pointer with 10 seconds left that sent the game into overtime.

In the extra frame, Millsaps scored first off a \#Crystal Dickerson\# layup before Liz Preas and the 'Roos scored five straight to take a 3-point lead with 1:41 left.  Another clutch 3-pointer from Millsaps tied the game at 65-65, with \#Tiffany Whitmore\# hitting the game-tying 3-ball with 20 seconds left.

AC waited for the last shot after Whitmore's tying jumper and used a backdoor layup from Amber Stafford to Marusich with 3 seconds left to steal a win away from the Majors.

Millsaps will close out a 4-game road stretch on Sunday at Colorado College.
