COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Senior guard Chad Songy went for a team-high 18 points in addition to five assists and senior Chris Sanders added 15 points and 13 rebounds as Millsaps won at Colorado College 76-66 on Sunday afternoon to stay alive for a berth in the SCAC Tournament.

Millsaps shot 51 percent for the game compared to 37 percent shooting from Colorado and edged the Tigers in the rebound column 35-30.

CC got 28 points from its bench and hit 11 3-pointers but couldn't overcome a 13-point halftime deficit despite 19 points and 11 rebounds from Brady Ohlsen.  Nate Brodman also added 17 points off the bench, hitting 4-of-10 3-pointers.

The Majors opened the game on a 7-0 run before eight unanswered from CC gave them their only lead of the game at 8-7.  A 17-5 run for Millsaps over the ensuing 7:57 gave the Majors total control and a 12-point lead, with Sanders scoring eight of his 15 points in the game during that stretch.

CC closed the half with the final five points off an Ohlsen layup and Brodman 3-pointer, but trailed 41-28 at intermission.

Millsaps held onto a double digit lead the majority of the second half behind 50 percent shooting from the floor and allowed CC to get no closer than eight points the final 20 minutes of regulation for a crucial, 76-66 road victory.

\#Blake Martinez\# and \#Chris Ingle\# were the other two Majors in double figures behind Songy and Sanders, with Martinez netting 16 and Ingle adding 12 points before fouling out with 2:24 to play.
