Millikin Women Fall at DePauw

         The Millikin women's basketball team lost to DePauw University 66-62 on December 28 in Greencastle, Indiana.  The Tigers improve to 11-1 while Millikin goes to 5-4.
         The Big Blue returned to action for the first time in 18 days and played well, but couldn't defeat the national women's basketball powerhouse program on its own floor.
         DePauw excelled in the first and third quarters while Millikin controlled the second and fourth quarters.
         DePauw led 15-12 after the first quarter.  Millikin out scored the Tigers 18-12 in the second quarter to take a 30-27 advantage at halftime.  DePauw then controlled the third quarter out scoring Millikin by 15 to end the period up 52-40.  Millikin battled back in the fourth quarter out scoring the Tigers by eight points, but the Big Blue couldn't overcome the DePauw advantage.  Millikin pulled to within two at 59-57 on an Emily Schultz basket with 3:19 remaining.  DePauw out scored Millikin final three minutes to hold on for the win.
         Millikin shot 52 percent from the field including 57 percent from three point range. DePauw hit only 42 percent from the field, but a rebounding advantage and Big Blue turnovers gave the Tigers 13 more shot attempts than the Big Blue.  DePauw won the rebounding battle 31-23 and forced Millikin into 17 turnovers while committing only nine.
         Yanni Saddler led Millikin with 23 points, four rebounds and three assists.  Schultz added 20 points and four rebounds.  Devin Curry scored 10 for Millikin and Lauren Moses had a team high seven rebounds.
