MILLIGAN COLLEGE, Tenn. (Jan. 9, 2017) â€" Mackenzie Raizor scored 13 points in the fourth quarter to spark a furious rally late in the game, but the No. 23 Milligan College women's basketball came up short against Point University, 61-57, Monday afternoon in a rescheduled Appalachian Athletic Conference contest.
 
Raizor finished with a career high 19 points to lead all scorers as Milligan fell to 11-7 (7-3 AAC) this season, where the Buffs are currently second in AAC standings. Raizor was 7-of-11 from the floor and 3-of-4 from three while adding six rebounds, an assist, a block and a steal.
 
Milligan, which suffered from a slow start and trailed by as many as 14 in the first half, faced a deficit of 12 with only 5:32 left in the game. Raizor had already started her hot streak by that point and contributed to the would-be comeback in a big way by making three straight triples in the fourth quarter. One such 3-pointer came during a 10-0 run Milligan made to cut it to 55-53 with 2:05 left. Ultimately Point (13-4, 6-4 AAC) made enough free throws down the stretch to seal the win.
 
Lindsee Price followed Raizor closely in the scoring column with 15 points and was equally effective from the perimeter with a 3-for-4 effort. Price, one of the nation's leaders in assists, tallied three assists and five rebounds.
 
Sarah Robinson, although held relatively quiet with seven points, had one of the best rebounding games of her career, grabbing 15 boards which matched her career high. Robinson also had three assists and four steals.
 
As a team, Milligan shot 20-55 (36.4%) from the field and 10-28 (35.7%) from 3-point territory. Point shot 22-51 (43.1%) from the field, 2-9 (22.2%) from three, and was led by Courtney White who scored 14 points and added nine rebounds.
 
Milligan will hit the road for AAC leader Reinhardt University on Wednesday before returning home on Saturday for an AAC game against St. Andrews University. Tip off for the latter is set for 2 p.m. with the men scheduled to follow at 4 p.m.
