Cold Shooting Costs Majors, Fall in Championship

JACKSON - A day after one of the best offensive performances in many years for the Millsaps Women's Basketball Team, the Majors could not buy a basket on this day as they fell to the Louisiana College Wildcats in the Championship Game of the Sleep Inn Downtown Jackson Tip Off Tournament, 87-48. 

The Majors came out of the gate slow, falling behind 11-0 and could never recover as they shot 21% from the field in the first half as opposed 51% from the Wildcats. 

Not all was lost for the Majors as they continued to fight throughout the game. Junior Shante Morton played very well down low as she had 13 points and 13 rebounds for her first double double of the season. Freshman Velvet Johnson added 10 points. 

With the loss, Millsaps falls to 1-1 overall. They will return to action next Sunday after Thanksgiving break as they will take on Huntingdon College. 

Following the end of the Championship Game, the All-Tournament Team was chosen by the team's coaches.
