Hendrix amped up the pressure in the second half, but East Texas Baptist GK Bryant Botello was able to keep Hendrix out of the net a late third goal held up as the game winner as East Texas Baptist University held on to win 3-0.

"Really proud of the group as we made improvements in our collective defending and spacing in possession," said Head Coach Matt Kern. "ETBU scored a couple of very good goals, and we will look to move forward this weekend at the tournament at Rhodes."

Hendrix GK Josh Neuman made three saves in the loss.
