SHERMAN, Texas – For
the second-straight game on a three-game road trip, Millsaps
scored just 15 points in the first half and fell behind by double
digits at the break, falling by double figures for the fifth-straight
game in a 69-46 loss at Austin College.
Millsaps (2-10, 0-5 SCAC) hit just
6-of-24 attempts from the floor in the first half for 25 percent
shooting, while the host 'Roos shot 41 percent including 5-of-13
from 3-point range.
Austin College (3-11, 2-3 SCAC) won its second SCAC game in three
tries with three scorers in double figures, led by Maegan Fitzgerald
with 19 points, Amber Stafford with 14 points and Katy Williams
with 12 points and a game-high 15 boards.
The 'Roos never trailed in the game and closed the first half
on a 22-6 run after Millsaps closed the gap to within two at
11-9,
using
eight
of
Fitzgerald's
19 points during that stretch.
Millsaps shot the ball a little better in the second half (33 percent)
but couldn't cut into AC's lead until the final minutes of the
game,
using
10 of
junior Crystal Dickerson's team-high
18 points in a span of 4:11.
Junior LaReina Adams added 15 points
for the Majors to go along with five rebounds and four assists,
while Tiffany Whitmore chipped in eight boards, six rebounds and
a career-high three blocks on an off-shooting night.
Millsaps will close out a three-game
road stretch on Monday at the University of Dallas with tipoff
set for 3 p.m. at the Maher Center. The Majors knocked off the
Lady Crusaders earlier this season in Jackson, 57-41, for one
of their two wins on the year.
