JACKSON, Miss. – Lovie Love stole the inbounds pass with three seconds remaining but couldn't get the shot off in time as the Majors dropped their first conference game of the season, 58-57, to the Hendrix Warriors.

The Majors (5-4, 2-1 SCAC)led by as many as 10 early in the second half, but Hendrix (5-4, 2-1 SCAC) retook the lead with 10:39 and did not trail again. Shante Morton tied the game with a three pointer from the top of the key with 2:05 remaining, 55-55, but the Warriors returned the favor and retook the lead with a three of their own on the next possession.

Lovie Love cut the Warriors' lead to one, 58-57 on a jumper with 53 seconds left. Janice Okeke got a steal on the inbounds play, but the Majors were unable to convert on their possession, setting up the final desperation play by Love to end the game.

The Majors were paced by Shante Morton with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Lovie Love followed close on her heels at 19 points. Both teams were cold from the floor, with the Majors shooting 21-of-59 for 36 percent to the Warriors' 19-of-51 for 37 percent. Hendrix was better from long range at 9-of-20 for 45 percent to the Majors' 5-of-22 for 23 percent.

The Majors will not have to wait long to get back on the smiling side of the scoreboard as they will travel up to Memphis to take on Rhodes College in a non-conference game tomorrow afternoon. Tipoff is slated for 3:00 p.m. at Mallory Gymnasium.
