Millikin shot 49 percent from the field for the game including a 63 percent in the second half.  Millikin was 11-24 (46 percent) from three-point range.  Carthage shot 42 percent from the field, but only connected on 6-19 (32 percent) from behind the arc.  Millikin dominated Carthage on the boards 38-26.
          It was senior night at Millikin with both Big Blue seniors going out in style.

          Ashlee Cunningham led the Lady Reds with 15 points.  Alexis Hahn had 14 points and seven rebounds.
