CONWAY, ARK- Velvet Johnson went for a season-high 26 as the Majors keep the Hendrix Warriors winless with a 69-65 road win. 

The Majors looked to be in control from the opening tip on Sunday, but the pesky Warriors would not go away. Early buckets by Victoria Morgan, Beverly Holmes and Lovie Love paced the Majors to a 22-9 lead midway through the first half. Hendrix stormed back, mounting a 15-2 run to tie the game at 24. The teams traded buckets over the final few minutes until Hendrix got a late layup and went into the locker room with a 33-31 lead. 

The teams continued their back and forth style through out much of the second half. A pair of Samantha Perez free throws allowed the Majors to regain the lead 45-44. That is when Velvet Johnson started to get warmed up. The sophomore scored six straight points for the Majors and put Millsaps up 61-57 with just over five minutes to go. Johnson saved 18 of her 26 for the second half. 

The Majors were finally able to put away the Warrors after a Miah Brooks layup and a Makayla Roberson jump shot. Each of those kept the Majors up by five in the final stretches of the game. A pair of Brooks free throws finally put the game on ice and sent the majors to 5-1 in conference play. 

Johnson's 26 led the Majors on Sunday and Tori Morgan added 11 as the only Majors in double figures. Miah Brooks led the way on defense with eight rebounds and a pair of steals. Millsaps out rebounded Hendrix 36-29 which led to a 15-9 advantage in second chance points. 

The Majors return home for two consecutive weekends. Friday night the 9-8 Majors welcome in the Oglethorpe Stormy Petrels. Tip time from the Hangar dome is set for 6pm.
