Cold-shooting Tigers fall at Hendrix

Box Score Colorado College saw its share of first place in the West Division of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference disappear with a 65-58 loss at Hendrix College on Saturday afternoon.

Sophomore guard Ryan Milne poured in a season-high 25 points and grabbed a career-best eight rebounds, but the Tigers shot a dismal 2-for-15 from behind the arc and finished the game shooting just 38-percent from the floor.

Freshman forward Chris Lesnansky added 19 points, six rebounds and five steals before fouling out with 3:08 remaining in the game.

Colorado College was within three points after Milne scored in the paint with 9:37 to play, but Nick Heathscott scored half of his team-high 16 points during a 9-0 run that gave Hendrix a 52-40 advantage with 7:55 remaining.

The Warriors maintained their double-digit lead for most of the next five minutes, however CC pulled to within 63-58 when Milne drained his second 3-pointer with 13 seconds to play.

If it weren't for the fact that the Warriors missed more free throws than the Tigers attempted, the score would not have been as close as it was. Hendrix converted on just 20 of 36 visits to the charity stripe while Colorado College made eight of 15 free-throw attempts.

Led by sophomore forward Daniel Webb, who pulled down a career-high 11 rebounds, CC out-rebounded the Warriors 42-33. The difference was at the offensive end where the Tigers had a 15-6 advantage.

Ammon Martin and Jaren Riley added 13 and 12 points, respectively, for Hendrix.

Colorado College is idle until Dec. 29 when it travels to New Orleans to face Husson University in the first game of the 2011 Big Easy Challenge.
