CONWAY, Ark. (Jan. 31) -- Hendrix College sophomore forward Nick Heathscott’s sixth 20 plus point performance of the season lifted the Warriors to an 83-59 win over Sewanee-The University of the South on Sunday afternoon at Grove Gymnasium, completing Hendrix’s first SCAC weekend sweep of the year.

The Warriors improve to 6-11 overall and 3-8 in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) play, while the Tigers fall to 4-15 on the year and 1-10 in league play. Hendrix is now just two games back from Trinity (8-11, 5-6 SCAC) and Millsaps (9-10, 5-6 SCAC) for fourth place in the West Division. The Warriors will look to gain ground on Trinity when they travel to San Antonio, Texas on Feb. 5.

Hendrix never trailed and ended the last three minutes of the first half on a 12-3 run to take a 43-25 lead into the break. The Warriors outscored the Tigers 18-2 in the paint in the opening 20 points. Sewanee did not get inside 17 points of Hendrix’s lead in the second half and the Warriors eventually stretched their lead to a game-high 30 points, 75-45, with 6:19 to go.

Heathscott (Conway, Ark./St. Joseph’s H.S.) was 8-of-10 from the field and 6-of-9 from the free throw line with four assists, two blocks and two steals, while senior guard Cal Rose (pictured) (Blytheville, Ark./H.S.) scored 19 points on 5-of-10 shooting. Sophomore guard Chris Goodman (Fort Worth, Texas/Keller Central H.S.) had 13 points and was 3-of-4 from long range.
