Vikings Wear Down Millsaps for Fourth Win in a Row

The Berry Men's basketball team secured another win this weekend defeating Southern Athletic Association foe, Millsaps comfortably on the road 54-45. This also puts them on a four-game winning streak, bringing the Vikings record to 13-2 overall and 4-1 in the SAA.

Berry was first to light the scoreboard after a four-minute scoring drought to start the game. Both teams were unable to obtain any meaningful momentum in the first few minutes of the half, but then back-to-back threes by Chase Ellis and Robbie Rusciano put the Vikings up by six, 18-12, forcing a timeout by Millsaps with five minutes left until halftime.

Chase Ellis gave the Vikings a 10-point lead with 90 seconds to go in the half. A three-point play by Riley Costas gave the Vikings an 11-point lead just before halftime, with the Majors scoring the final points of the period to make it 27-18 at the break.

The game continued to be low scoring in the second half, with the Vikings proving to be efficient on defense, recording five blocks and six steals for the night. The Vikings held Millsaps to 13-of-62 shooting from the field, including just 1-of-28 from three-point territory.

Berry pushed the lead to 14 as Costas scored in the paint to make it 52-38 with under three minutes to go. Costas would be a point shy of a double-double as he added a game-high 10 rebounds to go with his nine points.

Rusciano led all scorers with 11 points thanks to three three-pointers. Ellis joined Costas with nine points.

The Vikings are back in action Friday at the Cage Center facing Birmingham-Southern at 8 p.m.
