LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, GA- For the second straight weekend, the Millsaps Majors women's basketball team defeated the Covenant Scots, this time by a 62-47 margin, giving the Majors their first true road win. 

The two teams met last weekend as a part of the Berry Tip-Off Classic, a game won by Millsaps 82-53. 

Velvet Johnson led all scorers with 19 points, while adding in five rebounds and a pair of assists. Samantha Perez had 17 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds as the Majors put two in double figures. 

It was Covenant that got off to a quick start, scoring the game's first six points. The Majors started cold from the field, not registering their first points until nearly five minutes in, on a pair of Perez free throws. That was the spark the Majors needed, as Johnson went on a seven-point tear to give the Majors a 9-8 lead seven minutes in. The Majors would not relinquish the lead the rest of the game. 

Millsaps put the clamps on the Scots' offense, holding them scoreless for a four minute stretch midway through the half. The Majors went on a 12-0 run during that spell and grabbed a 32-19 lead. The would lead 38-25 at the half. 

Covenant hung around for much of the first 10 minutes of the second half, playing even with the Majors and keeping the Majors' lead around 11 to 13 points. Millsaps again put the clamps on the Scots' offense, limiting them to just three points over a seven-minute stretch. Millsaps again put together a run during this time, stretching the lead out to 17 points as the Majors cruised from there. 

Rebounding was a big key to the game as the Majors pounded the glass to the tune of a 50-32 edge over Covenant. Kelli Randle and Miah Brooks each had 12 rebounds to share game-high status. That was part of the one-two punch of the Majors' defense that held Covenant to just 33 percent shooting. It also enabled the Majors to score 19 second-chance points off 15 offensive rebounds. 

A schedule change has the Majors, now at 3-1, playing Rust College tomorrow afternoon at 3pm in the Hangar Dome. This is a change from the Tuesday night game originally at Rust, who wanted to move the game due to the College being on Thanksgiving Break.
