CONWAY, Ark. – After falling to a talented East Texas Baptist University program a week ago in Conway, Hendrix looked to get back to its winning ways with the final home contest of the 2018 year taking place Tuesday night when the Warriors hosted University of the Ozarks. After leading by as many as 12 points and taking a nine-point lead into the locker room, Hendrix was able to defend off the Eagles as the Warriors recorded a 70-65 victory Tuesday evening inside Grove Gymnasium. Freshman stretch player Seth Stanley led the way with a game-high 18 points on 4-of-9 shooting from downtown while junior guard Jacob Link flirted with a triple-double after recording 10 rebounds, eight points and six assists in the win.

TURNING POINT
After allowing a three-pointer on the Eagles' opening possession of the second half, Hendrix held Ozarks scoreless for over the next two minutes to take a 10-point lead (40-30) following an and-one by freshman guard Sean Coman and a free throw by freshman big man Carl Fitch.

OF NOTE
- After knocking down six trifectas in the first half and shooting exactly 50% (6-for-12) from three-point land, Hendrix held the Eagles to shoot just 12.5% (1-of-8) en route to a nine-point cushion at the break.

- With 21 ticks on the clock left, Ethan Bowman nailed a tough three-pointer to bring the Eagles within three (68-65).
- Two successful free throws by Coman all but sealed it with 18 seconds left; Warriors held on 70-65.
- Stanley produced a game-best 18 points tonight on 4-for-9 from deep and 4-of-6 at the charity stripe.
- Coman added 14 points and two assists in the win; also went 3-for-3 at the free throw line to improve to 13-for-13 (100%) on the season.
- Fitch tallied a new career-high 13 boards and 10 points for the double-double in the victory over the Eagles.
- Hendrix shot a nice 8-of-19 (42.1%) from beyond-the-arc and 71.8% (28-for-39) at the free throw line while Ozarks shot 5-for-15 (33.3%) from deep and a 12-for-21 (57.1%) mark at the charity stripe.
