Four different Blazers picked up unassisted goals in Hood's two games last week; Bryan Lentz, Jason Anderson, Sofaine Lazar and Chad Baker all found the back of the net for the Blazers.
WOMEN'S LACROSSE (0-1, 0-0 AWCC): Senior Laurie Burrier recorded Hood's lone goal in Hood's setback at Villa Julie College. This week the Blazers open up an eight-game homestand against Chestnut Hill College Saturday at Thomas Athletic Field.

SOFTBALL (0-0, 0-0 AWCC): Hood's first two home dates scheduled for last week were postponed due to inclement weather. The Blazers square off against future Capital Athletic Conference rivals Catholic University Friday and Villa Julie College Saturday at the Hood Softball Complex.

The Blazer women sent 12 competitors to Goucher and placed second in their first NCAA competition.
