CONWAY, Ark. – After rain forced a pair of schedule changes, University of the Ozarks (3-4) traveled to Conway to take on the Warriors in a midway, in-state showdown Wednesday evening from Warrior Field. Andrei Stoaynow made his collegiate start against the Eagles. The freshman right-hander tossed six innings of work, fanned a career-best 13 Eagles and took a no-hitter into the third inning to land his first-ever victory for the Warriors. Ozarks recorded just two hits on the evening as Hendrix won its fifth consecutive game, 7-0, after tallying three runs in the second inning and one run in each of the next three innings. The 6-1 start is the best start to a season since former head coach William Headrick's 1917 club opened up 7-1 and finished the season 9-4.
