ATLANTA, Ga. - In search of their first win at Oglethorpe in nearly 20 years, Hendrix battled the Stormy Petrels from Atlanta, Ga. Friday night in a very meaningful game for the Southern Athletic Association. It took all 50 minutes for the Stormy Petrels to hold off Hendrix as Oglethorpe defeated the Warriors, 85-81 in double overtime. Seth Stanley calmly made three free throws, trailing by three points, at the end of the first overtime after drawing a foul while shooting a three-pointer with 0.3 seconds left in the period but three turnovers and just two rebounds in the second overtime session allowed the home team to pick up the four-point win. Jacob Link recorded an unbelievable stat line of 20 points, a career-high 17 rebounds, a game-high five assists and a game-best five steals. Hendrix falls to 7-6 on the year with a 1-1 mark in the SAA while Oglethorpe improves to 7-6 with a 1-1 mark in SAA play.
