JACKSON, Miss. - The Millsaps Majors dropped a 46-63 decision to the Birmingham-Southern Panthers tonight in The Hangar Dome.

The Majors (6-9, 3-4 SCAC) started strong, jumping out to a quick 6-2 lead off a three from Kristin Salmon. Unfortunately for the Majors, that would be their largest, and last, lead of the game. The Panthers (11-5, 6-1 SCAC) retook the lead 9-11 with 13:00 minutes in the half and never trailed again.

The Majors stayed close throughout the half. The BSC lead did not get into double digits until midway through the second half. The Majors trailed by just two at the half, 22-24, but gave up three straight buckets to open the second half, allowing the Panthers to start pulling away.

Shante Morton led all scorers with 14 points and six rebounds on the night. Kristin Salmon posted 10 points and six rebounds to round out those in double figures. The Panthers were led by Erin Moore and Melanie Short each with nine. The Majors shot 32-percent for the game to the Panthers' 46.

The Majors will return to action this Sunday as they host the Rhodes College Lynx at 1:00 p.m.
