JACKSON, MS- The Millsaps Majors locked down the Oglethorpe offense on Saturday, securing the second seed in next week's SAA tournament with a 64-41 win on Sunday. 

The Majors held the Petrels to just 29 percent shooting and out rebounded Oglethorpe 40-32, thanks in part to Miah Brooks' 16 rebound effort. 

Both teams started slow on Sunday, with neither team scoring over the first three minutes. Oglethorpe grabbed a 5-0 lead before Millsaps cracked the scorebook five minutes in with a Kala-Jewel Freeman baseline jumper. 

Samantha Perez and Brooks each scored a pair of jumpers as the Majors took their first lead at 8-7. The Petrels hung around thanks to timely three point shooting in the first half. Back-to-Back Petrel threes tied the game at 16 with seven minutes to go in the half. That shot proved to be a turning point for the Majors, who reeled off a 9-1 run paced by Freeman and a Velvet Johnson three. After Oglethorpe cut the lead back to four, the Majors closed the half on a 7-2 run, capped by a Beverly Holmes buzzer-beater as Millsaps led 32-23 after 20 minutes. 

Miah Brooks and Holmes fueled the Majors early in the second half. Brooks dominated the low post, consistently getting to the line and Holmes drilled another three as the Majors kept a 10 point lead. Holmes added another three as the lead grew to 13 minutes later, starting a 9-0 run that blew the game wide open. 

The Majors turned up the defensive intensity, limiting Oglethorpe to just four points over the game's final eight minutes. The Majors continued to pull away and won 64-41. With Rhodes win over Centre, the Majors clinched the second seed and a rematch with Oglethorpe next Friday at 1pm at Rhodes.
