CONWAY, Ark. - In search of its first Southern Athletic Association win on the season, Hendrix hosted the Sewanee Tigers Sunday afternoon inside Grove Gymnasium. Looking to avoid the regular season sweep, the Warriors shot over 45 percent from the floor and over 42 percent from deep but it was not quite enough as the Warriors fell to the Tigers, 65-53. With the loss, Hendrix falls to 2-18 on the season with an 0-9 mark in SAA play while the Sewanee Tigers improve to 8-12 on the season and 3-6 in conference games. Anissa Gutierrez scored a team-high 14 points with three three-pointers while Kessie Jenkins added 10.
