SAN ANTONIO - The Majors dropped a 69-55 decision at Trinity to start the new year.

Millsaps led through most of the first half, but were never able to build a lead larger than six. The Tigers hit a jumper as the horn sounded the end of the period to take a 25-24 lead into halftime.

The second half started promisingly, with the Majors scoring the first five points of the frame to retake the lead, 29-25, but that would be their last lead of the game. Trinity went on to post a 13-2 run over the next five minutes to firmly take control of the game, 41-31. The Majors got no closer than seven the rest of the night.

The Majors' shooting fell off in the second half, to 28-percent from 41-percent in the first half. At the same time, the Tigers improved from 37-percent in the first half to 59-percent in the second. L.V. Sumler and Taylor Meades led the Majors with 11 points each. Sumler had the double-double with ten rebounds on the night.

The Majors will travel over to Georgetown, Texas on Sunday afternoon to take on the Southwestern University Pirates at 2:00 p.m.
