JACKSON, Miss. -- The Berry women's basketball season came to end on Saturday in the Southern Athletic Association semifinals. Top seed and host Millsaps defeated the Vikings, 66-59.

Mel McLean had 17 points and tied Millsaps' Shante Morton as the high scorer. Megan Walsh notched 12 points while Tara Mullinax and Alexa Evans each added 11.

"We played a sensational game," said Berry Head Coach Stephanie Dunn. "It was a well-played and hard-fought contest on both sides."

The Vikings out-rebounded the Majors, 37-26. Mullinax earned a double-double with a game-high 11 rebounds.

Both teams shot 40-percent on the night. Millsaps made seven three-pointers to Berry's four.

The lead changed hands nine times.  Morton hit a three-pointer to end the half that tied the game at 31-31.

In the second half, Walsh made a layup with 12:32 remaining to put Berry ahead, 43-40. On Millsaps' next possession, Morton drained a three-pointer that tied the game. After the next Millsaps basket, the Berry would not lead or tie the game again.

McLean made a jumper with 33 seconds left that cut the gap to 61-57. Millsaps then converted four straight free throws to seal the game.

"It felt like a championship atmosphere, and I'm really glad the team got this experience," Dunn said. "We came up short on the scoreboard tonight, but my team was outstanding."

Berry concluded its year at 13-14. The Majors (18-9) will play for the SAA championship on Sunday.
