Warriors Down Majors 72-50 in Regular Season Finale

CONWAY, Ark. -- Sophomore Jamie Sterrenberg scored a game-high 17 of host Hendrix's 48 bench points as the Warriors cruised to a 72-50 victory over Millsaps in the regular season finale at Grove Gymnasium on Saturday afternoon.

Hendrix (14-11, 7-8 SCAC) led from start to finish, scoring the game's first six points off a pair of layups and two free throws and never looked back. 

Millsaps (10-15, 5-10 SCAC) got within two at 9-7 with 13:35 left in the opening half off a \#Jessica Bowie\# basket and free throw before Hendrix responded with a 12-3 run to take total control and eventually a 31-18 lead into intermission.

The Warriors hit just 11-of-39 shots (28 percent) in the opening period but led by 13 behind nine points from Sterrenberg and just seven total field goals from Millsaps on 30 percent shooting.

Back-to-back jumpers from senior \#Tiffany Whitmore\# to start the second half cut the lead to 11 in the early going and looked to give the Majors a little momentum until back-to-back-to-back 3-pointers from Sterrenberg and Christina Byler took Millsaps completely out of the game.

Hendrix led the ensuing 12:19 by 20 plus and cruised to its fourth consecutive win to earn the West's No. 3 seed in the upcoming SCAC Tournament.

Freshman \#Janice Okeke\# led the Majors' scoring with 11 points on 4-of-6 aim, while Bowie had an outstanding performance with 10 points, seven rebounds and seven blocks.  Eleven different Warriors found the basket.

Despite the loss, with Southwestern defeating Austin College a night earlier, Millsaps earned the West's No. 4 seed in next week's conference tournament where they will face 4th-ranked Oglethorpe (23-2).
