The Hendrix men fought long and hard with a tough Rhodes College team, but came away with a conference loss 73-56. The Warriors (4-11, 0-5) shot 40 percent from the field but were 1-11 from three point range which fuels the Hendrix offence.
Sophomore Drew George (Shreveport, LA) was a strong presence inside all night for the Warriors finishing with 20 points. Main scoring threat for Hendrix Matt Secrease was limited to six points while his counterpart Rami Almefty scored 21 points with seven assists. Joe Thompson and Matthew Jakes scored 15 and 17 respectively.
The Warriors will travel to Indiana next weekend in a SCAC match-up against Rose-Hulman on Friday and Depauw on Sunday.
