BERRY, GA- The Millsaps Majors women's basketball team held Agnes Scott to just 25 percent shooting in a 62-44 win at the Berry Tipoff Classic. 

Velvet Johnson led the Majors and all scorers with 20 points including going four of five from three-point range. Beverly Holmes was the only other Major in double figures with 11 as Millsaps got a balanced offensive effort across the board. 

Perhaps the biggest stat of the game was the 54-37 edge the Majors had on the glass, including a 20-13 offensive rebounding edge. Miah Brooks led all players with 14 rebounds, including eight on the offensive glass. 

It was rebounding and defense that helped the Majors build a big first-half lead. The game was hotly contested for the first ten minutes of the game and after a 5-0 run by the Terriers, the game was tied at 13. The Majors held Agnes Scott to just three field goals and seven points over the last 10 minutes of the first half, closing the first 20 minutes on a 29-7 run and taking a 42-20 lead into the break. Three Johnson three-pointers highlighted the charge. 

Millsaps would stretch the lead to as many as 30 in the second half, Samantha Perez had five of her eight points right out of the second half gate and also finished with six assists. Millsaps was in a giving mood on Friday, dishing out 14 assists on their 23 field goals. 

The win moves the Majors to 1-0 on the season and they will get right back at it tomorrow. Game two for the Majors at the Berry Tipoff Classic will be at 11AM central when they will take on the Covenant Scots at Berry College.
