JACKSON - Playing in the 2010 WBCA Pink Zone game for breast cancer awareness, the Millsaps College women's basketball team dropped its 23rd straight game of the season at The Hangar Dome to Hendrix College Saturday afternoon, 67-62.

Hendrix (17-4, 11-3 SCAC) opened a 10-5 lead to start the game but back-to-back jumpers from freshmen \#Shante' Morton\# and \#Elizabeth Sigafoose\# and a pair of free throws by Morton gave Millsaps its first lead 11-10 midway through the first half.

After the Warriors reclaimed a slim lead, \#Jasmine Harbor\# drained a 3-point basket to put the Majors ahead 21-20.
