JACKSON, Miss. -The Millsaps women's basketball team saw thier winning streak come to an end tonight as they dropped a 65-70 decision to the Southwestern Pirates.

The Majors (10-11, 7-6 SCAC) could never get their offense clicking and, as a result, trailed the entire game. Southwestern (14-8, 6-7 SCAC) took the lead on their first possession with an old fashoned three-point play to take a 3-2 lead. They did not trail again.

Millsaps' hot shooting from outside kept them in the game in the first half. The Majors shot 5-of-10 from three in the first half, accounting for over half of their first half point total. They shot just 20-percent from inside the arc, leading to a 28-36 halftime deficit.

The Majors never allowed the game to get out of reach, however. The Pirates pushed their lead out to 15 early in the second half, but Millsaps continued to battle. They chiseled away at the lead from that point. Southwestern's last field goal came with 3:58 remaining in the game, a layup that put them ahead six, 65-59. Two layups from Janice Okeke and one from Shante Morton pulled Millsaps to within one, 65-66 with 30 seconds on the clock, but the Pirates hit their free throws to seal the win.

Janice Okeke posted her second double-double in as many days with 23 points and 14 rebounds, she had 16 and 10 in the second half alone. Lovie Love added 11 points on the night, while Shante Morton rounded out those in double figures with 10.

The Majors will close out their home schedule on Tuesday evening as they host Covenant College for a 5:00 p.m. tip off in the Hangar Dome.
