Box Score CONWAY, Ark. - Looking to bounce back after a loss Saturday to Birmingham-Southern College, Hendrix hosted Millsaps Sunday afternoon in the final volleyball game inside Grove Gymnasium on the 2019 season. Hendrix took the opening two sets against the Majors before giving up the next two sets. Despite being outhit .194 to .160, the Warriors managed to pull out a 16-14 set five win to defeat the Majors in five sets (25-19, 25-23, 15-25, 17-25, 16-14). In the huge win, Maddie Tovar recorded a career-best 19-kill performance which included hitting .298 on the day against Millsaps. With the win on Senior Day, Hendrix improves to 16-6 on the year including a 10-3 mark in the Southern Athletic Association while Millsaps drops to 16-12 with a 6-8 record in conference competition. With only one conference game left on the season, Hendrix is pretty much assured to obtain the no. 3 seed for the 2019 SAA Championships which will take place in Birmingham, Ala. Hendrix's three seniors were honored prior to the game Sunday.
