Daniel Cobb's running three-pointer at the buzzer tied the game at 45-45 heading into half after an explosive back-and-forth first half at the Cage Center.
Jonathan Ryan and Darvis Rasberry, Jr. nailed back-to-back long balls early in the second half to maintain a one-point lead for the Warriors, but the wheels fell off for the away side soon after.
Berry subsequently went on a 20-3 run to jump out to a 71-55 lead and would not look back en route to handing Hendrix its fifth consecutive loss.
Ryan led the Warriors with a season-high 17 points.
Cobb, Rasberry, and
Colten Berry also finished the afternoon in double-figures.
