CONWAY, Ark. - The Hendrix College men's lacrosse team rallied behind an outstanding goalkeeping performance by Christian Wheeler to earn a 6-3 win over Huntingdon College in a low-scoring affair on Saturday afternoon at Young-Wise Memorial Stadium. 

Wheeler made 15 saves, one off his season-high, to earn the win in net and stifle the Hawks offense. Travis Rabun led the Warriors' attack with three goals and two assists, while Alex Ortenstone and Carson Boone each grabed a goal and an assist. Ortenstone also led the Warriors in ground balls with five and shared the team lead in caused turnovers with Will Ross with two apiece. 

Hendrix and Huntingdon played to an even tie through the first half. The Warriors put a pair of tallies on the board in the early going, taking a 2-0 lead on goals from Boone and Rabun, but Huntingdon answered with a pair of scores to knot the game at 2-2 before the halftime whistle.

In the third quarter, the Orange and Black took over, scoring three goals while holding the Hawks scoreless through the frame. Hendrix cashed in on a pair of man-up opportunities in the late stages of the frame, notching two goals with a man advantage in the final two minutes of the quarter. 

In the fourth quarter, Robbie Borrello drove home the dagger with 10:02 remaining, scoring his 14th goal of the season to give the Warriors a 6-2 lead. Huntingdon scored with 3:07 left, but the Warriors were able to hold off the Hawks and run out the clock for their first home victory of the year.
