MT BERRY, GA-Samantha Perez just missed out on a double-double scoring 10 points, grabbing nine rebounds and dishing four assists as the Majors erased a three point halftime hole to win 65-53 over Berry. 

The Vikings got off to a scorching hot start, hitting on six of their first eight shots and grabbing a 14-8 lead on the Majors. The Vikings maintained their pressure and never let the Majors gain any momentum in the first half. A trio of Miah Brooks lay-ups kept the Majors continually within three points. A Makayla Roberson three point shot did the same as Berry went into the break up 27-24. Brooks led the Majors with nine first half points. Mel McLean led all scorers with 13 for Berry. 

The Majors did not waste any time grabbing the lead out of the intermission. A Sam Perez lay-in gave the Majors a 28-27 lead after two quick buckets in the first minute. The Majors turned up the defensive intensity and held Berry without a field goal through the first five minutes of the half. During that time the Majors built a 41-31 lead off of threes by Velvet Johnson and Shante Morton. 

Berry would make a run, closing it to 46-42 midway through the half. Jumpers by Roberson and Perez quickly quieted the threat and stretched the lead back out to double digits. Brittnei Earl provided the back-breaker, dropping six straight points to open the lead to twelve. The Majors hit some free throws down the stretch to close out the game. 

The Majors once again did it with balance, putting five players in double figures. Roberson and Brooks each had 13. Velvet Johnson had 11, Perez and Earl each had 10. The stat of the game was points in the paint where the Majors had a 32-14 advantage. 

The Majors improve to 15-8 and 11-2 in conference. They close out the regular season travelling to Atlanta to take on the Oglethorpe Stormy Petrels. Tip time is set for noon central on Sunday.
