It took a while, but Hendrix finally subdued the University of Dallas and pulled away for an 87-74 victory in the final game of the Cliff Garrison Classic at Grove Gymnasium on the Hendrix campus.
The Warriors (6-3) led 40-29 at the half and led by as many as 20 in the second half, but Dallas (2-9) would not go away and cut the lead to 10 near the 3 minute mark. Hendrix made free throws down the stretch to secure the victory and for the game made 21 of 30 from the charity stripe.
The Warriors enjoyed balanced scoring as five players were in double figures. Matt Secrease led the squad with 19, John Paul Noland and Andrew King each had 14, while Michael Bennett and Justin Jaramillo finished with 13 and 10 points respectively. King also led the Warriors with 8 rebounds.
For Dallas, Michael Cusak and Jason Bassett each finished with 21 points, with Bassett perfect from the field on 9-9 shooting.
