PETRELS POWER PAST MAJORS

ATLANTA, GA- A second half surge from the Petrels broke open a three-game and the Majors fell at Oglethorpe 77-60 on Friday night. 

The Majors closed the first half strong, cutting a double-digit Stormy Petrel lead to just five at 27-22 at the half. A late bucket from Dustin Aubert and a buzzer-beating three from Brennan Gagen cut the Petrel lead in half over the final two minutes of the opening 20. 

Another Gagen jumper brought the Majors within a possession at 27-24. The Petrels would grab a couple of quick buckets from Drew Patrick, who had a game-high 21, but the Majors would hang tough in the early stages of the second. 

Oglethorpe would put the game out of reach with a 10-0 run midway through the half. A pair of buckets from Myles Moore looked to get the Majors on track but the knockout blow would be delivered moments later. Oglethorpe answered with an 8-0 run in just over a minute to blow the game open, leading by as many as 29. 

Dustin Aubert led a balanced offense with 11 points to go along with two rebounds and two assists. Gagen and Moore each added nine while Josh McSwain and each added eight. Gagen added a team-high seven rebounds for the Majors. 

The loss drops Millsaps to 6-13 overall and 2-6 in the SAA. They will travel to Rome, Georgia on Sunday to tip with the Berry Vikings. Start time is set for around 2pm central.
