TURNING POINT
Trailing by three with under 30 seconds to go, head coach Drew Gaeng called timeout to draw up a play. With 15 seconds to go, King nailed her third three-pointer of the evening to tie the game up. After a strong defensive stop as regulation expired, Hendrix maintained all the momentum going into overtime.

HOW IT HAPPENED
- After shooting better than 38% from the field and limiting the Colonels to under 33% from the floor, Hendrix carried a 23-22 lead into the locker room at the break.
- Centre struck in the opening five seconds of the third frame to take a two-point lead but a 8-0 run by Hendrix gave the Warriors the six-point cushion.
- Tied at 31-all towards the end of the third period, freshman guard Macy Moody and King hit back-to-back three-pointer's to maintain a 37-31 lead with 10 minutes left.
- Following a jumper by King with just over six minutes left in regulation, Centre embarked on a quick 9-0 run, thanks to three-straight three's. 
- King makes two three's in the final 3:08 to force overtime.
- Trailing by one in overtime, Jenkins recorded a 5-0 run all by herself as Hendrix held the 55-51 lead with 2:34 left including the eventual game-winning and-one opportunity in which the sophomore converted the free throw to give Hendrix the one-point edge.
- Jenkins, Daniel and King combined to shoot 3-for-6 at the free throw line in the final 27 seconds as Centre missed a deep three-pointer as time expired. Hendrix held on for the 60-58 road win.

OF NOTE
