Sewanee, Tenn. - Hendrix dropped the first leg of its Southern Athletic Association (SAA) road trip out east with an 18-6 defeat at Sewanee on Friday night.
After surrendering the opening goal of the game to the Tigers,

But the Warriors would not find the net again until just under the midway mark in the second quarter when
Maximus LaMendola scored his first goal of the evening at 9:06. Hendrix was held scoreless for the rest of the half and entered into the halftime break trailing 11-2.
LaMendola added two more in the third to stop a Tiger 10-0 scoring run
Quarles scored the opening goal of the fourth period off an assist from
Klaus Rowan to make it a 16-5 contest. LaMendola added his fourth with 3:40 left to play, but it would prove to be academic in the end as the Tigers closed out the 18-6 win.
Ian Domeika recorded 17 saves in goal. Kellen Harger entered in relief midway through the final period and recorded a save.
Michael DeCaro was 10-27 on face-off attempts and led the Warriors with five ground balls.
