FREDERICK, Md. - Scott Bolen scored 39 points, more than any other Hood College men's basketball player in the last nine years, to lead the Blazers to a 97-94 win over Arcadia. 

His 39 points, the third most in school history, on his Senior Day were the most for a Hood College player since Ryan Junghans set the school record with 47 points against Gallaudet in February of 2008. 

Inside the Box Score

• Bolen went 13 of 22 from the field and knocked down 7 of 12 3-point field goals. He added seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and a blocked shot to his afternoon. 
• Hood's other seniors also had big days. Tanner Ruths was just one assist shy of the school record with a career-high eight. The guard added 13 points and four steals. Trevor Magnuski tied Bolen for the team-high with seven rebounds, scored 10 points and had three assists. 

How it Happened

• With Hood ahead 94-91 with 20 seconds left, Bolen blocked a potential game-tying 3-pointer by Josh Scott and took an assist from Ruths at the other end for a five-point lead, 96-91, with 15 seconds to go. 
• Ryan Kelley made a 3-pointer to keep Arcadia close with 10 seconds remaining, but Bolen capped the scoring with a free throw two seconds later.
• Bolen scored seven of the first nine points of the second half as the Blazers stretched a 46-44 halftime lead to 11, 55-44, with 17:54 to go. 
• Hood still led 66-61 before back-to-back 3-pointers by Tyson Sellers gave Arcadia a one-point lead with 9:05 left in the game. Bolen answered with a 3-pointer of his own and reclaimed the lead, 69-67, with 8:22 on the clock. 
• Arcadia tied the game again, but Luke Casey and Jared Ruiz both made pairs of free throws for a 73-69 advantage at 7:49 and the Blazers never trailed again.
