DEPAUW STOPS MAJORS STREAK AT SIX

GREENCASTLE, IN- The Majors' six-game win streak was snapped on Tuesday in a 66-44 loss at the hands of the #15 DePauw Tigers in the championship game of the Amy Hasbrook Tournament. 

Millsaps struggled to score in the first half, limited to just 19 percent shooting on 5-26 from the field and going nearly 10 minutes without a field goal in the opening 20 minutes of play. However, the Millsaps' defense allowed the Majors to hang around the #15 team in the nation for most of the first half. The Tigers closed the half on a 13-4 run to lead 30-11 at the half. 

The second half saw the action pick up on both sides. Velvet Johnson scored 18 of her 24 in the second half including five of six from behind the arc. But it wouldn't be enough,  the Tigers hit a couple of key threes down the stretch to keep the Majors from mounting a run. 

This was a jump-shooting affair on Tuesday as the Tigers outscored the Majors 16-14 in the paint. Miah Brooks finished with five points and a game-high nine rebounds while Samantha Perez dished out a game-high eight assists against six turnovers while recording three steals. 

After the game, Velvet Johnson and Miah Brooks were named to the All-Tournament team. Johnson had 13 points in the win over UW-Stout while Brooks had a 20-15 double double in points and rebounds in the win over the Blue Devils. 

The loss snaps the Majors' six-game win streak as Millsaps finishes the 2014 portion of the schedule at 7-3. The Majors will return home to take on Agnes Scott on Sunday as part of the Millsaps' New Year's Classic. Tip time on Sunday is set for 2pm.
