Cold two minutes down Lady Majors 55-59 at Hendrix

CONWAY, Ark. - The women's basketball team was held scoreless in the closing 1:52 today at Hendrix to fall 59-55 to the Warriors.

The Majors (11-12, 7-7 SCAC) and Warriors (14-9, 10-4 SCAC) were tied at 50 with 3:50 remaining in the game. Hendrix hit the front end of a set of free throws to tie the score and then took the one-point edge on the second, but Lovie Love answered with a jumper to put Millsaps back up one.

Three Warrior turnovers gave the Majors the chance to take control over the next minute, but all they could muster was a jumper from Sarah Zito and a Lovie Love free throw to go up four, 55-51, with 1:52 left to play. Unfortunately, the Majors did not score again as the Warriors went on an 8-0 run to close the game, 59-55.

Sarah Zito paced the Majors on the day with 17 points in only her second game. Shante Morton had ten points and nine rebounds, one shy of the double-double. Shatoya White closed with 10 points and six assists. Wyvonne Hawkins led all scorers with 22 points.

The Majors were out-rebounded 45-27 for the game. They shot 37-percent from the floor, 22-percent from three, and 78-percent from the line. Hendrix's numbers were similar at 40, 25, and 71-percent.

The Majors currently sit in a three-way tie for second place behind Hendrix in the West Division standings. They will travel to Austin College next Friday for a 6:00 p.m. game before heading up to Colorado College on Sunday afternoon. Both the 'Roos and Tigers are behind the Majors in the standings, with only the top four teams advancing to the conference tournament.
