Milligan comes up short at Reinhardt

Waleska, Ga.  (Jan 13, 2010) --- The Milligan College Buffs continued their road woes as they fell to AAC newcomer Reinhardt College 78-74 on Wednesday night in the James & Sis Brown Athletic Center.

In the first half, the Buffs quickly jumped out to an early 11-5 lead within the opening four minutes. The Buffs added on their lead with an 11-0 run that began with eight minutes remaining in the half. That run proved to be the difference as Milligan took a 46-35 lead into halftime.

In the second half, the Eagles started the half on a 9-0 run, and the Buffs were unable to bounce back until six minutes remained in the game as Reinhardt outscored the Buffs 30-10 in that period. Milligan, however, didn't go down without a fight as they closed the gap to one point with two minutes remaining in the game. Milligan missed a chance to take the lead with 27 seconds left on the clock, and a chance to tie the game with 12 seconds remaining.

Cordero Seymour (Inagua, Bahamas) led the way for the Buffs with his second consecutive double-double with 24 points and 13 rebounds. Kyle Donahue (Greeneville, Tenn.) had 15 points and six rebounds while Torian Sitton (Hendersonville, N.C.) added 10 points.

With the loss, the Buffs dropped to 5-10 and fell to 2-4 in AAC play, while Reinhardt improved their winning streak to eight games as they have a 9-4 record overall and are 4-1 in AAC play.

The Buffs travel to another AAC foe on Saturday when they travel to Bristol, Va. to take on Virginia Intermont. Tipoff is set for 7:30p.m.
