JACKSON, Miss. – The Belhaven Women's Soccer team battled to the end but ultimately fell short to Hendrix on Wednesday night. The Warriors held on to defeat the Blazers by a final of 3-2.
 
Hendrix opened the scoring in the 7th minute to take a 1-0 advantage. The visitors added another goal in the 28th minute to double their lead heading into the locker room.
 
The Blazers responded in the 63rd minute as Lauren Samford got the Green and Gold on the board off an assist from Emma Antonoplos. However, Hendrix converted on a penalty kick immediately after to go up 3-1.
