Survival instinct defensively in the second half ensured Milligan College its second victory of the year.

The Lady Buffaloes recorded their first win of December with a 56-41 triumph against Truett-McConnell College on Tuesday night inside Steve Lacy Fieldhouse.

It wasn’t pretty on offense, according to Milligan head coach Rich Aubrey, but the defensive pressure was right on target — forcing 26 turnovers against the Lady Bears.
