CONWAY, Ark. – Host Hendrix College took a 2-0 halftime lead off goals from Thatcher Crawford and DJ Kern and then held off a late Millsaps surge to come away a 3-2 victor on Friday night in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play.

Crawford broke open a scoreless match in the 32nd minute to give the Warriors a 1-0 lead, using a double assisted effort from Ian Evans and Jonathan Birdwell off a corner kick. Kern followed in the 42nd minute with his first goal of the year to make it 2-0 at the break.

Millsaps' Brandon Mong scored his team-leading eighth goal of the year in the 50th minute to help bring the game to within one, scoring off a double assisted effort from Corey Beaumont and Drew Dews Jr.

That's, however, as close as the Majors would get the rest of the game as Crawford buried his second goal of the game off a breakaway to give Hendrix a 3-1 lead in the 83rd minute. Beaumont would score with 40 seconds left in the game to make the final margin 3-2.

In a physical contest that drew a combined 25 fouls and six cards (one red), the teams both fired 13 shots with Hendrix keeper Jon Moore earning the win with seven saves. Freshman Dylan Broussard, after stopping two goals, was hit with the loss.

Millsaps will close out the 2008 campaign on Sunday, traveling to Rhodes College.
