DANVILLE-The Centre Colonels shot 48 percent and dropped the Majors to 10-2 in the SAA as Millsaps fell 66-55 in Danville on Sunday. 

This one was hotly contested from the opening tip. These two teams were about as evenly matched as one could get in the opening twenty minutes. There were seven ties and seven lead changs as neither team led by more than four points. Centre took a 30-28 lead into the break. The Majors closed the half strong as a steal by Beverly Holmes led to a lay-in by Samantha Perez. Holmes then sank a jumper to tie the game before Centre hit a last second shot. 

Out of the intermission, Centre tried to pull away on a number of occasions, only to see the Majors storm right back. The two teams kept trading mini-runs and the game was within one possession until about 10 minutes left in regulation. A three pointer by Shante Morton cut the Centre lead to 46-43. Centre responded with a 10-0 run over the next three minutes. 

A three-point play by Morton stopped the run and closed the Colonel lead back to 10 once again. The teams would trade baskets the rest of the way, but it was that big run by Centre that proved to be the difference. 

The Majors put two in double figures on Sunday, Morton had 17 to lead the way. Makayla Roberson chipped in 15 and led the way with five rebounds. 

The big stat of the game were points off turnovers. The teams were nearly even in turnovers committed (18-17) but Centre turned them into 25 points compared to just 15 for the Majors. 

The Majors now are tied with Centre at 10-2 in SAA play with two games remaining. The Majors next travel to Berry to take on the Vikings next Friday night. Tip time is set for 5pm next Friday night.
