Jackson, MI - The Hendrix Warriors traveled to face the Majors of Millsaps College on Saturday afternoon. The Warriors took hold of the match early, and used a phenomenal balance of offense and defense to come away victorious; defeating Millsaps 3-0 (25-18, 25-23, 26-24).

The Warriors came out in set number one firing on all cylinders. An ace by Lauren Dwyer helped HC jump out to a 10-9 lead. The Majors were able to claw back and tie it at 10-10 however, the Warriors capped a 8-1 run with a monster kill by Lauren Petrisin to bring the score to 18-11.
