MILLIGAN COLLEGE, Tenn. (Feb. 4, 2017)- After trailing by as much as eight in the opening minutes, seniors Lindsee Price and Hayley Wyrick led the Milligan College women's basketball back from a slow start as they went on to defeat the Union College Bulldogs 66-55 on senior day.

Courtney Wilson led the charge with a fast-break lay-up, and then went coast-to-coast to record a block that led to a lay-up from Price. The Buffs closed out the half with a third three-pointer from Price, as she went 3-for-4 behind the arc, to lead 32-23.
