Bella Cates and Shelby Heil led the Warriors with 11 points each.

The Eagles jumped out in front of Hendrix in the first quarter and led 24-15 after the opening 10 minutes. Both teams slowed down in the second quarter as Hendrix sought the keep the affair close. Brooklyn Rowe's layup with just over a minute to play in the half trimmed Ozarks' lead to 11 heading into halftime.

The Warriors opened the second half with a 6-0 scoring run to cut the deficit to 5, but the home team responded with 11 unanswered points as part of a 13-3 scoring run to create enough separation between the two sides that Hendrix was unable to overcome.

Riley Brady finished with 4 points and 10 rebounds.

Hendrix shot 37.5% from the field and 40% from behind the arc while knocking down 12-of-17 attempts from the line.
