The Oglethorpe women's basketball team fell behind the visiting Hendrix Warriors 7-1 and 36-12 early Friday evening and could never get back in the game, losing 72-53 at Dorough Field House.

The Stormy Petrels got a couple of decent performances as sophomore forward Alana Bentley tallied 13 points and six rebounds. Meanwhile, sophomore guard Emily Buck came up with 11 points on 5-of-6 free-throw shooting and two steals. Sophomore forward Kendelle Culpepper also scored in double digits, pouring in 10 points on 3-of-5 shooting, 2-of-2 from three-point range, and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line. Senior guard Kyana Jenkins performed well on Senior Night, scoring seven points on 3-of-4 free-throw shooting, passing out two assists and swiping two steals.

None of it was enough, however, as the Petrels shot just 29 percent from the field to Hendrix's 40 percent. Additionally, the Petrels shot just 18 percent from beyond the three-point arc. They were outrebounded 42-35 and outassisted by a whopping 18-3.
