MAJORS LOOK TO KEEP ROLLING AT DEPAUW

JACKSON, MS- Senior guard Samantha Perez and junior forward Miah Brooks are among the Division-III leaders as Millsaps heads to Greencastle, Indiana for the Amy Hasbrook Memorial Tournament hosted by DePauw this weekend. 

Perez currently leads the nation in assists, dropping an average of 7.8 dimes per game. Her 14 assist game at North Central College ties her for the most in Division-III so far this season. In that game, Perez notched a triple-double, the first for the Majors in five years and one of nine recorded so far this season nation-wide.

Brooks meanwhile is producing at an extremely efficient rate. The junior is currently second in the nation in field goal percentage at nearly 71 percent from the field. She is second on the team at nearly 14 points per game and averages a double-double by averaging nearly 11 rebounds a contest. She is coming off of back-to-back double-doubles against Rust and Austin College. 

The Majors, winners of five straight, now sit at 6-2 on the season as they head to Indiana. The Amy Hasbrook tournament hosted by DePauw is in memory of Hasbrook, a former Tiger basketball player, who passed away in 2002. The Majors will be tested with games against UW-Stout and the host school DePauw. 

The Majors will take on UW-Stout on Sunday and the Blue Devils, out of the extremely tough WIAC, will provide a tough challenge. Tip time is set for 3pm EST/2pm CST. Millsaps will take Monday off before taking on former SCAC rival and current #15 DePauw Tigers on Tuesday at 3pm EST/2pm CST. It will be the first meeting between the former conference rivals since they met as part of the 2010-11 SCAC season. 

Live stats and video for both games will be available through the links on the women's basketball schedule page. Millsaps will return home on Sunday, January 4th when they host Agnes Scott at 2pm.
