BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Birmingham-Southern (Ala.) scored goals in the 37th and 86th minutes in a 2-0 win over Hendrix on Saturday in the Southern Athletic Association (SAA) opener for both teams at Goldfarb Field at Berylson Soccer Park.

"Full credit to Birmingham-Southern for dictating play and converting two of their many chances," Hendrix head coach Matt Kern said. "I thought we defended well for half the game, but the Panthers deserved the three points. I would like to see us compete more for second balls in the midfield and show some more composure on the counter and while circulating the ball."

Coleman Jennigns (10) scored the first goal off an assist by Bryan Arteaga. Harry Maughan (1) added an insurance goal when his header hit the back of the net following a corner kick.

Jennings ended with eight shots, including five on goal. Elijah Mitchell and Alessandro Junior each had three shots and two on frame.

Leo Reyes (2-2) made two saves in 90 minutes for Birmingham-Southern (5-3, 1-0 SAA).

Omar Pelayo had two shots for Hendrix (1-5-1, 0-1 SAA), while Will Kelton, Sam Snider, Austin Pettigrew, Mason Reid, Jake Nelson, Eli Brizendine and Jack Nolen each had one. Pelayo and Nolen each were credited with a shot on goal.

James Leone (1-4-1) played the first 59:18 between the pipes for the Warriors and made four saves. Manu Murga played the final 30:42 and recorded five stops.

The Warriors held an edge in corner kicks, 7-6.

Hendrix returns to Warrior Soccer Field for three-consecutive SAA games, starting Oct. 2 against Millsaps (Miss.) at 7:30 p.m. CT.
