Danville, Ky. – The Millsaps Majors Women's Basketball Team traveled to Danville, Kentucky on Friday to take on the Centre Colonels in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Eastern Division Standings. Millsaps struggled for one of the first times on the road, as the Colonels were able to defeat Millsaps 66-51.
 
The Majors started the first 10 minutes out well as they jumped to a 15-10 lead as every player in the starting lineup got on the board. However, Centre took over from there and went on a 14-0 run to take a nine-point lead. The Majors responded and brought the game back within four with 2:46 remaining, but Centre hit a 7-0 run to take a 33-22 lead at halftime.
 
Millsaps came out of the half and was able to get the game down to eight right away. The Colonels took control of the game thanks to their All-American guard Maggie Prewitt and put the Majors away.
 
The Majors never gave up and continuously tried to get a run going in the second half to get back into it, but Centre closed the door in front of their hostile home crowd.
 
Freshman Velvet Johnson led Millsaps with 16 points while junior Lovie Love added 12 points. Centre's Prewitt led all scorers with 32.
 
The Majors struggled on the boards as they were outrebounded 39-22. The Colonels also got to the free throw line 23 times to Millsaps' 12.
 
Centre clinched the Eastern Division crown with the win over Millsaps. However, thanks to some help from Sewanee, the Majors locked up the second seed as the Tigers defeated Rhodes. Millsaps fell to 19-5 overall and 11-4 in the SCAC.
 
The Majors go for their 20th win on Sunday as they take on those Tigers of Sewanee in the mountains. Tipoff is set for 1 p.m.
