BOX SCORE
Jackson--Kiara Cooper's lay-in with two seconds left gave the Covenant Scots a 77-75 win in Jackson Tuesday night and kept the Majors winless on the year.
The Majors and Scots went back and forth all evening long with Covenant holding a three point lead at the intermission. The Majors looked to have taken control of the game midway through the second half, grabbing a 69-64 lead with just under six minutes to go. But a quick five points by the Scots returned the game to the back and forth affair.
Miah Brooks hit a layup with seven seconds remaining to tie the game at 75, the Scots elected to not call a timeout and Cooper knifed into the lane and hit the floater with two seconds left. A pass to the midcourt line was deflected out of bounds by the Scots but the officials had ruled that time had expired and the Majors were not able to get a tying or winning shot attempt.
Victoria Morgan continued her hot start to her Millsaps' career netting a team-high fifteen points. Makayla Roberson and Lovie Love also put double figures in the scoring column with 11 and 10 points respectfully. Miah Brooks had a team-high nine rebounds and Samantha Perez dished out six assists in the start.
Kiara Cooper dropped 18 for the Scots, none bigger than her final two. Jesse Blankenship had a double-double with 25 points and 12 rebounds.
The win sends the Scots to 3-0 and drops the Majors to 0-3. The Majors take a Thanksgiving break and welcome the Eagles of Pensacola Christian into the Hangar Dome on Saturday, December 1st. Game time is set for 3pm.
