JACKSON, MS- Owen Jacobs had 13 points and 15 rebounds off the bench powering the Berry Vikings to a 66-51 win over the Millsaps Majors on Sunday afternoon in the Hangar Dome. 

Myles Moore had 14 points and four rebounds to lead Millsaps who dropped to 1-5 in the conference and 5-12 overall on the season. 

Much like the women's game between the two teams, this was a defensive battle at the start. The two squads were tied at six eight minutes in as the defenses were forcing tough shots from both sides. 

Marc Robertson drained a three and Alex Gerchow added a bucket as Millsaps opened its largest lead of the day at 13-7. Berry would quickly respond, scoring the next six points to re-tie the game. The Vikings would keep the momentum after closing the half on an 8-1 run to lead the Majors 26-17 after 20 minutes. 

The lead would grow to 12 points early in the second half as the Majors found themselves down 31-19.  A Rajan Hanstad three brought Millsaps to within six at 35-29, but it would be as close as the Majors would get in the second half. 

Berry shot 58 percent in the second half as they pulled away from the Majors for their first conference win of the season. The Vikings out rebounded the Majors 43-35 but Millsaps held a 17-10 lead on second-chance points. Ten Berry threes proved to be too much for the Majors to overcome on Sunday. 

Millsaps will look to snap their six-game slide when they host Hendrix on Friday night as they continue their four-game homestand. Tip time follows the women's game between the schools and is set for 8pm.
