Hood 85, Marywood 73

FREDERICK, Md. — On the strength of 56.4 percent shooting from the floor, the Hood College men’s basketball team topped Marywood University on Thursday night, 85-73.

Santo Provenzano, who entered the game ranked ninth in NCAA Division III with 23.9 points per game, led the way for the Blazers with 21 points and Sean Robine recorded his second straight double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds. In all, Hood went 31-for-55 from the floor, including 14-for-23 in the second half (60.9 percent), for its best-ever field goal percentage.

The Blazers, who began a five-game homestand, improve to 7-8 on the year and to 4-1 at home while the Pacers drop their fifth straight to fall to 3-10.

Darnell Edmonds dished out a season-high nine assists for Hood to go along with three steals and Jesse Gutekunst had 14 points and a career-high seven blocks. Joe Buczko and Ryan Rogan shared team honors for Marywood with 17 points each and Tim Smallwood tallied 12.

The Pacers, who beat Hood last year 90-84 in overtime at home, spelled their fate from deep as they managed to hit just 7-of-30 3-point attempts (23.3 percent).

Hood took command of the game early, turning a tie game, 12-12 with 13:34 to go in the first half, into a comfortable 31-14 lead with a 19-2 run over the next six minutes, 12 seconds.

The Blazers biggest lead of the night came with 11:33 remaining in the game at 18 points, 63-45, after the second of consecutive 3s by Robine. Marywood scratched back to get within six points twice in the final 2:10, but Hood made six free throws down the stretch to clinch the win.

Hood will look to get back to .500 and run its winning streak to three when it next gets in action Jan. 17 at home against Wesley College. Tip-off at Gov. Thomas Johnson High School is set for 7 p.m.
