JACKSON, Miss. - Millsaps nearly doubled their offensive output from the first to second halves tonight to secure a 50-41 win in the final regular season home game of the season.

The Majors (10-12) shot just 27-percent from the field in the first half and an absymal 39-percent from the foul line which put them six points back, 17-23, at the half against the visiting Covenant College Scots.

The Scots (4-17) opened the second with a three pointer to take their largest lead of the night, 17-26, following the Majors' turnover on their first possession after the break. Fortunately, Covenant was never able to pull away as the minutes ticked on. The score stayed close the whole night, but the Majors put together a 9-2 run from the 13:13 mark until they retook the lead 36-35 with 9:36 remaining. They did not trail again. They tacked on ten more points before the Scots could respond, leading 46-35 with just over five minutes to play.

The Majors were paced by senior LV Sumler who earned his fifth double-double of the season with 16 points and 11 rebounds in his final regular season game in the Hangar Dome. Taylor Meades turned in another strong performance with 11 points, rounding out those in double figures.
