Colonels slip past Majors, 48-44

DANVILLE, Ky. - Two turnovers in the closing minutes allowed the Centre Colonels to pull away from the Majors as Millsaps fell 48-44 today in SCAC play.

Neither team led by more than nine points all day. The Majors tied the game for the third time thanks to a Shante Morton layup with 2:35 remaining in the game, but they could not capitalize, with two steals followed by two turnovers in the final possessions of the game. The Colonels hit their free throws down the stretch to pull away as time expired.

Janice Okeke posted her sixth double-double of the season with a game-leading 13 points and 12 rebounds. Lovie Love added 11 points to round out those in double figures. As a team, the Majors shot 35-percent from the floor (17-of-49), 17-percent from three (3-of-18) and 64-percent from the line (7-of-11).

The Majors will return home next weekend to host the Birmingham-Southern Panthers, Friday night, at 6:00 p.m. in the Hangar Dome.
