MEN'S BASKETBALL (21-7, 12-4 CAC): In just its fourth season of intercollegiate competition, the Hood men's basketball team became one of only 18 schools in the country to secure at at-large bid to the 2007 NCAA Division III Tournament. The Blazers will travel to Virginia Wesleyan College in Virginia Beach, Va. to take on Hampden-Sydney College Friday at 6 p.m. The fifth-seeded Tigers won the Old Dominion Athletic Conference tournament after defeating Roanoke, 77-62. Hood advanced to the championship game of the Capital Athletic Conference tournament and hosted the second-seeded Catholic University Cardinals. Despite holding a seven-point edge at halftime, the Blazers fell victim to the hot-shooting Cardinals who connected on 60 percent of their shots in the final 20 minutes and went on to win, 85-75, in front of what is believed to be the largest crowd on record (1,250) at Gov. Thomas Johnson High School. Junior Jesse Gutekunst led all scorers with 28 points and corralled 18 rebounds for his 33rd career double-double. Sophomore Ryan Junghans has recorded 552 points on the season, the second-highest single-season total in school history.
MEN'S LACROSSE (0-2, 0-1 CAC): The Virginia Wesleyan College men's lacrosse team downed Hood by a final score of 33-5 Saturday afternoon in a nonconference game. Jason Anderson registered a pair of goals for the Blazers, while Alex Tkacz, Sofaine Lazar and Blake Rust each added single tallies. The Blazers return to action Wednesday at the University of Mary Washington for a Capital Athletic Conference matchup at 3:30 p.m. Hood's home opener is scheduled for Saturday against Christopher Newport University at 1 p.m. at Thomas Athletic Field.
WOMEN'S LACROSSE (0-0, 0-0 AWCC): The women's lacrosse team opens its 2007 season on the road Sunday in a game originally scheduled for Thomas Athletic Field. Due the inclement weather, the Blazers will now travel to local rival Villa Julie College for a 1 p.m. contest. Hood finished second in the Atlantic Women's Colleges Conference regular season standings in 2006. Five Blazers earned All-AWCC honors last season, including sophomore attack Liz Rakowski, who was selected as the conference's "Newcomer of the Year."
SOFTBALL (0-0, 0-0 AWCC): The defending Atlantic Women's Colleges Conference champion softball team was set to begin its 2007 season this weekend with a pair of doubleheaders scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. However, due to inclement weather, those contests have been postponed. Hood will now host Villa Julie College March 10 at 2 p.m. and Messiah College March 30 at 2 p.m. Hood posted a record of 27-16 last season and earned the conference's automatic berth to the 2006 NCAA tournament. The Blazers return 10 letterwinners from that championship squad.
MEN'S & WOMEN'S TRACK & FIELD (0-0): After competing for two seasons as a club sport, the Hood men's and women's track & field teams are set to travel to Goucher College for their first intercollegiate competition. The Blazers are coached by Brent Ayer whose squad was elevated to varsity status in June 2006. Hood's track & field roster consists of 14 women and 20 men who will journey to Towson Saturday for the Goucher College Winter Warm-Up meet at 1 p.m.
