DANVILLE, Ky. (Jan. 14) -- Junior Anna Roane brought Hendrix College to within one point on a last second 3-pointer, however, Centre College would survive for a thrilling 60-59 victory on Friday night at Alumni Gymnasium.

Hendrix missed a pair of 3-pointers in the last minute until first year Jamie Tate hit a layup with 22 ticks left on the clock, 58-56.

The Warriors (6-8, 3-3 SCAC) were forced to foul to stop the clock and Centre (10-5, 4-2 SCAC) junior Maggie Prewitt drained two clutch free throws with 10 seconds left.
