After holding a two-point edge at the break, 41-39, Hendrix outscored the Roos 48-40 in the second half as Hendrix hung on for the huge non-conference win Saturday evening in front of a stellar crowd. Seth Stanley eclipsed the 30-point plateau yet again after pouring in 31 points on 11-of-19 shooting (64.7 percent) with a game-high five assists while only playing 28 minutes.. With the win, Hendrix improves to 2-3 on the year while the Roos hold a 3-1 record after losing its first game of the year Saturday.
