WOMEN'S LACROSSE (4-9, 2-1 AWCC): The Blazers advanced to the championship game of the Atlantic Women's Colleges Conference tournament with an 11-2 victory over Wells College. Senior Laurie Burrier scored a pair of goals and assisted on four others to lift Hood to the victory. Rachel Loss, Liz Rakowski and Brandy Noel also had multi-goal efforts for Hood. Then in the championship, the Blazers tallied two second-half goals, one apiece by Burrier and Rakowski, in an 11-2 defeat. Burrier finished the spring with 17 assists, tying her for second all-time at Hood.

SOFTBALL (14-19, 5-1 AWCC): Hood is heading back to the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year after defeating Wells College in the opening round and Wilson College twice to clinch its second straight Atlantic Women's Colleges Conference crown. Sophomore Jamie Gardner was spectacular in the circle, working all 21 innings and striking out 32 batters while surrendering just a single run in three games. She posted a sparkling 0.33 ERA and held the opposition to a skimpy .135 batting average. The Blazers will travel to New Concord, Ohio, to take on the Muskingum College Muskies Thursday at 10 a.m. Hood will then battle either Anderson University or Bridgewater College in the second round Friday.

MEN'S AND WOMEN'S TRACK AND FIELD (Men: 7-3; Women: 5-3): The track and field team traveled to Towson Saturday, competing against Goucher College and a partial squad from York College in a non-scoring meet. The men's team came away with 11 victories, led by Corey DeMaster's wins in the long jump, triple jump and 400 meter hurdles, and Matt Haynes who tacked 10 feet onto his school hammer standard, throwing 114' 6 3/4", and also captured the discus and javelin. On the women's side, Erica Hamor took away three wins in the shot, javelin and hammer throws. William Andrews and Danielle Sgro completed the 26.2 miles of the Frederick Marathon in record-setting fashion Sunday. Sgro received a prize for finishing third in the 20-24-year-old age group in a time of 3:38:16.1. Andrews broke the tape in 3:15:28.1 in winning the 19-and-under age group and finishing 41st overall in a field of 721 runners.
