BOX SCORE

CONWAY, Ark. – Hendrix College senior forward Christina Byler scored 17 of her game-high 22 points in the opening half and the host Warriors converted 18 Millsaps turnovers into 27 points to take a 73-47 decision Thursday afternoon in Grove Gymnasium.

With the win, Hendrix improved to 5-1 overall and 2-1 in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play, while the Majors dropped to 0-9 overall and 0-3 in league action.

Millsaps scored the game's opening basket off senior \#Megan Bauerle\#'s 3-pointer and took an early 5-2 lead before Byler and the Warriors got going offensively. Hendrix responded with a 9-2 run to take an 11-7 lead and then blew the game wide open with 16 unanswered over the next 4:11 to take total control, 27-11.

Despite a solid defensive effort from Millsaps, the Warriors led by as many as 18 late in the period before taking a 40-24 cushion into intermission.

Hendrix then put the game well out of reach in the opening 3:43 of the second half, stringing together a 12-2 run to take a 52-26 lead with 16:17 to play. Four consecutive free throws and a big 3-pointer from Amanda Morris contributed to the spurt.

Millsaps wouldn't get any closer the rest of the way until freshman \#Elizabeth Sigafoose\#'s first collegiate 3-pointer with 40 seconds left capped the scoring for both teams.

Byler's 22 led all scorers, with freshman \#Shante' Morton\# adding 15 points and nine rebounds for Millsaps in addition to two blocks. \#Krista Clark\# and \#Ronda Webb\# also added six points apiece, while \#Lovie Love\# had a career-high four steals.

Millsaps will close out a three-game road stretch on Saturday with a trip to Division I Southeastern Louisiana. Tipoff is set for 3 p.m. from the University Center with live audio provided by Millsaps' Derrel Palmer. Live stats are also available from SELU.
